Let me tell you about Nepal - this little country packs more adventure than places ten times its size! I recently did this insane trip with Everest Heli Ride that completely changed how I travel. You know that feeling when you pinch yourself because you can't believe what you're seeing? That was me every single day.
It all starts with this crazy early morning mountain flight where suddenly - BAM - there's Everest right outside your window, glowing pink at sunrise. And that's just breakfast! Next thing you know, you're bouncing through wild rapids on the Trishuli River, screaming your head off one minute, then lying back at camp counting shooting stars the next.
The jungle part? Absolute madness. We're talking open-top jeeps getting way too close to grumpy rhinos, silent canoe rides where you're praying those logs stay logs (spoiler: some were crocodiles). But the real magic happened in the villages - sitting cross-legged on dirt floors learning to cook momos from women who've been making them for 50 years.
Then there's Pokhara - Nepal's adventure playground. I did the paragliding (terrifying), chickened out of the bungee (next time!), but that sunrise hot air balloon ride? Worth every penny. Floating over lakes with fish-tail mountain reflections - I must have taken 300 photos.
Now let's talk about the Everest Heli Ride - Everest Heli Ride's crown jewel. No trekking for weeks, just you in a chopper soaring between the world's tallest peaks. When we landed at that viewpoint and Everest was right there... I actually cried. My guide laughed and said it happens all the time.
What I loved most? These guys don't do tourist traps. Their guides (all local legends) take you to hidden monasteries, introduce you to their families, know which street stalls won't ruin your stomach. One night we ended up at this tiny hillside temple festival - no other foreigners, just us dancing with villagers under paper lanterns.
Warning: This trip ruins you for normal vacations. After rafting Himalayan rivers, spotting tigers from 20 feet away, and drinking chai with monks, your Instagram will make everyone jealous and you'll start planning your return before you've even left. Everest Heli Ride doesn't just sell tours - they create lifelong Nepal addicts. Still not convinced? Wait till you see the sunrise over the mountains from your helicopter window. Game over.

● Downside: Popular season = more crowds. Book early!
Autumn (Sept-Nov) – The Golden Season

Why Avoid Monsoon & Winter?
● Monsoon (June-Aug): Landslides, leeches, and flight cancellations. Not fun!
● Winter (Dec-Feb): Freezing temps, heavy snow, and foggy mountain views.
