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.

There are many pilots in Nepal who are foreigners. You can obviously work in Nepal as there are many Chinese citizens owning businesses to working legally in Nepal. Good luck.

Great footage Sam. I went to Everest base camp in 1983 and flew out of Lukla then - no tarmac on the runway then and you’d watch the cattle get cleared before takeoff. One of the great experiences of my life. Thanks for bringing my memories flooding back.

@@shree7802 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.

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.

Absolutely spell bounding! The hotel has a live cam that labels each peak. Thank you so much!

Also, thanks to the high quality YT vids you create! They actually helped me get through all those pandemic period fiasco. One of my dreams (aside from flying w/ all the aircraft model there is around the world) is to see Everest. So this tour is neat! Thanks for sharing your experience. Never a dull moment in your vids!

Your footage of this trip is absolutely SPECTACULAR! And your commentary, especially about wanting to be silent and appreciate the beauty, is spot on. Loved this video. I did this same trip, Christmas time 2018. What an adventure, worth every cent.

I flew to Lukla in 1993 in a Harbin Y-12. It was still a gravel runway with no go-around as there is a mountain in front. One landed uphill, turned around and departed downhill. Another off my bucket list never to be repeated.

i've always been fascinated by videos that people make when they summit Everest. This video was just awesome; glad you had a chance to go to Lukla and Everest!

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.
