  • I had a spare day in Kathmandu after I completed my trek. I had already done sightseeing and various other activities pre-trek due to which I had nothing to do then I asked Mr. Binod for suggestions because of how I wanted to be back in the mountains away from the crowded city, and he suggested going on a helicopter tour to Langtang valley.
