Flight of fancy Champagne breakfast onMount Everest

If breakfast is the meal of champions, it requires an equally victorious view. The Explorations Company offers a helicopter flight along the mighty Himalayan mountain range with your private pilot, stopping at Lukla, Everest Base Camp and Syangboche Airstrip, where a sumptuous breakfast is served at 12,300ft above sea level. The unpaved stretch serves the cascading village of Namche Bazaar and is the stunning location for your early morning meal in the clouds. Take in awe-inspiring aerial views of the commanding Mount Everest and the Himalayan range as you sip on fine champagne. Later, retreat to one of Nepal’s most beautiful hotels, The Dwarika’s Dhulikhel, to take in even more exceptional views and embrace the resort’s holistic lifestyle. From $5,250 per person for a four-hour helicopter trip, including transfers to and from hotel in Kathmandu and two nights at the Dwarika’s Dhulikhel.
