i am from nepal and i love to watch your video and feel proud that nepal is a great destination to explor the beauty created by nature for tourist from all over the world. welcome to nepal
@@Innerbrave ---Pakistan is the western end of the Himalaya, just as spectacular, very close to being as high as here and with even much bigger glaciers !
People often consider dubai,maldives for luxury exotic tourism but if you have money nepal is dream country for luxury tourism and no doubt a bagpacker favourite destination it has always been.
By putting a spotlight in Nepal's glory , you will have managed to bring in enthusiasts, travelers, hikers, mountaineers & more to Nepal. This the best post-covid promotion for tourism in our country. Thanks mate !
Watching this video brought tears to my eyes. Although I haven't traveled extensively, my visit to Mustang during an educational tour left a lasting impression on me. Every time I watch such videos, memories of my time in Mustang come flooding back, and I'm overwhelmed by the depth of my feelings for the place. Nepal truly is blessed with heavenly beauty, and reading these comments fills me with joy knowing that others appreciate it too. As a Nepali citizen, I extend a warm welcome to all who admire our country's beauty. Thank you for sharing this video; it truly touched my heart and resonated with me on an emotional level.❤
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.
Sam, I love mountains more than anything. This video is a very special gift for those who like me, loves mother nature and all their beauty. Thanks a lot for sharing it
Nepali from the southernmost part of Nepal here :) I often feel jealous seeing foreigners exploring/touring the mountainous region of my country where I have never been before. I’m currently overseas and I have a lot of Brits neighbours who always share their stories of going to ABC, EBC and Namche Bazaar and I’m there just listening to them like ‘Wow that’s interesting. Nepal indeed sounds like a paradise that I must start wandering through’.
I am a Brit living in Nepal and I totally understand how you feel. The only thing I can say is that the costs for Nepali citizens are usually much cheaper than for foreigners and Nepal depends on foreign income for its economy. This helicopter flight must be the most exciting in the world.
@@timtaylor1365 Hi Tim, it’s great to hear from your perspective. 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.
@@justkidding4556 yes I know. I also sometimes feel guilty but then I think that I am trying to help the economy and my Nepali family by spending money here, and I think that we should let everyone know how beautiful the country of Nepal is.
Thank you Sam for taking us to beautiful places .As an airline pilot I did visited so many places,you have taken us to almost all the places in the world. Thank you very much once again.
Hey Sam, just wanted to say that there´s a certain type of people that really enjoy and deserve the good things in life and you are one of them, you really do take us with you with great humility and you appreciate the beautiful things in life, treating everyone with a smile and respect from a 747 captain to everyone else. I hope great things keep coming your way.
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 very much for this amazing Kathmandu-Lukla- Kalapathar- Gokyo Lake- Everest View Hotel- Lukla and back to Kathmadu trip video. Tariff is on higher side i.e 1200 $ per person for this trip. Fortunately Nepal's most famous, Mr Vijay Lama also accompanied you.
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.
@@markwinter5285 .. you didnt eat at KC's in Thamel back then? Awesome food and a great place to hang out. I was there in 1979, 1980 and 1988. Annupurna treks(2) and Everest base camp like yourself
Hi, Sam! Despite being a Nepali man being born and raised in Nepal, I have not yet visited Lukla. But, you have. I liked your video that you have made of exquisite mountains and picturesque places around the world's highest peaks. This video is helping expose our country to the world and making the people across the world feel like visiting the country at lease once in their lifetime. Looking forward to your visit to this amazingly beautiful country, Bye!!!
Amazing images of an incredible mystical place. I could not think of a better view to have breakfast. $1,200 seems like a very reasonable price for the length of the trip and the locations. 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.
This just takes my breath away - the sheer beauty & majestic scenery. I have been fascinated by this part of the world ever since I read the autobiography of the great mountaineer Reinhold Messner who summitted Everest solo and without oxygen some years ago. Super excellent video & THANK YOU for this!!
What a great video Sam! I can't imagine $1200 buying a better adventure than that. I know flying in that environment is dangerous even in seemingly perfect conditions like you had, but man, what a great job that pilot has. Thanks for sharing and great work!
@@mareksobecki I booked with Mountain Ram Adventures. Ram is an amazing man…he summited Mt. Everest in 2021. He also has a TH-cam channel (Ram Sharan Upreti). His company does all kinds of adventures in Nepal. I am going back to Nepal next year because it is such an amazing place. Enjoy Nepal!!!
these are the great himalayas, the greatest of all, the greatest on the earth, himalayan range is more than anything, you cant imagine what these himalayas hidding from the earth, the unique mountain ranges of the universe, i cant explain these in words.
How exciting! Thanks Sam for taking us high up the Everest. It's a point we dream about and you've taken us half there. The views are magnificent and sites breathtaking. Always looking forward to your next travel.
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!
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.
Thanks Bijaye Lama captain of Nepal Airline who has contributed to making promotion of tourism of Nepal .Me,like other viewers got to see the most beautiful scenes of Himalayen Ranges including peak of Mounteverest.
Such an incredible video. Absolutely loved it. To see the airplanes land at Lukla Airport made my pulse increase. Everest was as incredible to see as I imagined.
Thank you so much Sam for taking us along on your flight up to Everest base camp 2. What a great way to start my Saturday morning with coffee & an exhilarating helicopter flight thru the mountains of Nepal. That cheese omelette with tomatoes looked delicious & now I’m hungry.
4 months later . . . .I congratulate you for your achievement, amazing place, I've been there in the early 90's.... the landing runway was however pure ground. Best wishes from Brazil
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!
crash was on 14 October 2023 , news from Kathmandu was published after Manang Air reported on 24 October about his death , news was published on 25 October.. Rip
Thank you Sam! Not one opinion have you expressed on the few hours of what I have viewed. You allow the people, scenery and last, but not least, your exceptional recording and editing skills, to speak for themselves. If only there were more Sam's on youtube. Once again, thank you Sam!
There is nothing in the whole world like our Mighty Himalayas.............Nothing more beautiful.........Nothing so grand............That Chopper pilot is a pro........Love from india...........The land of the Himalayas.............
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!
Thank you 🙏 Mr Sam for presenting us a breathtaking, stunning video of Nepal. Also Captain Vijay Lama as always "Jaya Chandra Surya" Victorious National Flag of Nepal. ❤🙏🇳🇵✈️
Hi Sam, I remember how I randomly found your channel during the lockdown after consistently watching aviation-related content. Glad I did and since then I've been an avid fan of your channel! 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!
I well come you all to my beautiful home country Nepal, come here for feel the energy of magnificent mountains and to explore the other beautiful aspect of nature as well as culture. I'm sure you will love it.
Sam, good afternoon to you from Hong Kong 🇭🇰. You are so lucky to be able to ride in a helicopter 🚁 and travel to the vicinity of Mount Everest and have breakfast at Mount Everest hotel 🏨 . I wish you could have shown us the village/town in the valley of Mount Everest.
I did this flight back in Feb 2019! It was amazing and I will never forget the experience of landing at Everest base camp. It was money well spent imo.
Hair raising adventure Sam . What an incredible journey in one of the most beautiful and challenging terrain in the world . I held my breath when you were breathless due altitude sickness . Thanks for a fantastic ride .
Paradise on earth , 70% world natural beauty is in South Asia. Nepal is the country which deserve to explore.
AND THE TECHNICAL KNOW-HOW AND INCREDIBLE CAPACITIES OF THE NEPALI PILOTS!! GOD BLESS!
Nepal is amazingly beautiful country 🏔️ I can’t wait to go back again- from Tokyo
Thanku
dude $1200 for a day trip to Everest?
what a great deal
Welcome to Nepal 🇳🇵
Most welcome to Nepal Sir 🙏🏼
Let’s go together
What a stunning scenery, a silent testament that there is truly a God Who created all of these magnificent mountains!
Thanks for acknowledging the LORD CHRIST JESUS the creator of all things; visible, invisible, above and beneath
Oh I want to really climb here someday, shout and praise Lord Jesus for creating such magnificent mountains @prophetisraelking3759
Those mountains do deserve our reverence as they are beyond incredible. It would be so great to see them in person. Thank you for posting!
Wow, That first landing was smooth as butter in the one of the most dangerous airport in the world, hats off to those pilots👏
Nepal is a beautiful country …can’t wai t to go back nepal …people are very friendly and helpful❤lots of love from amsterdam netherlands❤
much love from nepal
There are many Dutch doctors from united nations working in remote Nepal .

Salute to Vijay lama and Sam sir for Promoting tourism in Nepal.
As a helicopter pilot myself this was my absolute favorite video you have ever posted here. Thank you so much Sam
I had the opportunity to learn to fly a helicopter when I was in my 20s, but unfortunately got sidetracked, and now, at 66, I regret it greatly.
i am from nepal and i love to watch your video and feel proud that nepal is a great destination to explor the beauty created by nature for tourist from all over the world. welcome to nepal
I've seen Lukla Airport many times on TV, but this is the first time I've heard of such a hotel. Soooooooo AWESOME!!!!!
Of all your aviation adventures I'd say this is the most visually...breathtaking.
If you like this check out the Pakistan videos, also crazy beautiful.
@@Innerbrave Hope u noticed what I did there.

Flying to Nepal from Australia in February for vacations.
See you soon :)

Huge respect and love from my country Nepal for all the foreigners who feel these adventures in reality. 🇳🇵❤️🫰🏻🙏🏼🙏🏼
The roof of the world. I don't think I could ever climb Everest, but I would love to see it from helicopter like this.
1.1 million views as of today- that‘s well deserved: What a video, what a flight!
Certainly one of your best!

Thank You ❤ lots of love from Nepal
This is the longest glacier in Nepal Himalaya. Thank you for visit
Amazingly breathtaking , thanks Sam
the logistics of supporting the Lukla airport is mind blowing. something as basic as fuel has to be brought in either by pack animal or by air.
There is nothing in the whole world like our Mighty Himalayas.............Nothing more beautiful.........Nothing so grand............That Chopper pilot is a pro........Love from india...........The land of the Himalayas.............
One of your best videos ever Sam, thoroughly enjoyed this one. Living through your experience was so awesome. Thanks

Very impressive Helicopter views of Mount Everest, thanks for sharing 🙏

I did this flight back in Feb 2019! It was amazing and I will never forget the experience of landing at Everest base camp. It was money well spent imo.
You're so lucky, you were able to set foot on the sacred Gokyo lake, so incredibly lovely, from Philippines...
Hair raising adventure Sam . What an incredible journey in one of the most beautiful and challenging terrain in the world . I held my breath when you were breathless due altitude sickness . Thanks for a fantastic ride .
