    Finally saw sam's video about helicopters, it's great. I am a Chinese helicopter pilot, I studied helicopter flying in the US, and have both Chinese and American pilot licenses, but in China, the helicopter industry is in frozen, and I had to give up my flying job. I wonder if Nepal will recruit young foreign helicopter pilots with low hours? I am very willing to come to work.

      A holder of a foreign Commercial Pilot License will be required to undergo an abridged course in an Approved Flying Training Organisation where they have to do a minimum of 35 hours of flight training and pass all the Navigational papers.
      I guess you can get nepal pilot license by this way.

Whilst it is significantly cheaper for us to explore our country, I must acknowledge here that the average annual income per capita in Nepal is unbelievably low, which is why the northernmost parts of our country remain unvisited by Nepalis as the remuneration people receive here is continually spent on sustaining their lives.

In my state in the US, it costs $499. for a 30 min flight around the city and coast to see "the sights ad tourist attractions". Great video, thank you for sharing your experience with us. Stay safe and looking forward to the next.

      Hi Shree, My trip to Nepal in 1983 is still one of the highlights of my life.
      We stayed in Thamel in Kathmandu before our trek .
      Fascinating place - I don’t think there was a traffic light back then.
      My trek was a bit over 300 km and we walked into the Khumbu via the Arun Valley. Great way to see the country.
      I got blessed by a monk at Thangbouche monastery and I really appreciated the exposure to the religions.
      The scenery stays with me till this day. Got to Everest base camp and then walked back to Lukla to fly out.
      Back in Kathmandu I remember eating fantastic pie each day at a place called Jamalys and eating at Utses. Not sure if either of those places are there today?
      I spent 9 weeks in Nepal and also did a trek into the Annapurnas.
      Overall it was a great experience - scenery is the best in the world, found some great places to eat and , as with all travel, it is the people that make the experience and the Nepali people were wonderful.

    Gyoko Lake is beautiful. Heard about it after two boys drowned, an American recovery team Bruce’s Legacy flew to Kathmandu and hauled all their sonar equipment up by porters and mules. They were able to recover one boy. The families, villagers were so appreciative and hospitable. Would love to see Everest, the culture but the flight in looks so hairy!

    This video combines two things I love, Nature and Aviation. Beyond stunning. Makes me want to fork over $1200 for a flight, although getting to Kathmandu would cost a few thousand more, so probably not in the cards.
    Thank you, thank you, thank you Sam!

    Lived in Kathmandu 2008-2010 and my last year a group of us did the trekk from Lukla to Mt. Everest Base Camp. We took 8 days for the ascent to acclimatize to the altitude. The group of us were in good shape and only a few began to show symptoms of Altitude Sickness near the end. That said we saw many tourist who were suffering and were not listening to their guides. I remember having lunch and tea on that balcony. Beautiful scenery and I think there is either a small school or clinic dedicated by Edmund Hillary near there.

      Hillary, a New Zealander, brought his brother, a carpenter, to the region to build the first school in that valley in the mid-1950's, he was the first person to climb to the top of Mt Everest as part of the massive British Expedition in 1953. In those days, the whole expedition packed supplies to the base camp near Kala Patter on the backs of hundreds of local people hired to the job, getting to Everest then was like getting to the middle of the Sahara Desert or the middle of the Amazon Rainforest by foot, no airstrips existed until the 1970's.

    Thank you Sam for sharing such stunning, magnificent video of your tour through the Everest region. But no thank you for doing it myself. I’d be way too white-knuckled terrified at those altitudes in a helicopter to enjoy myself. I don’t even like being this tall.
