Operating Terms and Safety

Aircraft and Capacity

  • Flights are operated by licensed Nepali operators, mainly with Airbus AS350 B3e helicopters, the type best suited to high-altitude work.
  • Up to 5 passengers at lower altitudes; at landings above 4,500 m (Kala Patthar, Gokyo) the load is reduced, and groups may be shuttled in two sorties.
  • The total passenger weight limit is approximately 400 kg at lower altitudes and 250–300 kg for high landings. Baggage is limited to small daypacks on scenic flights.

Weather and Timing

  • Mountain flights operate in the early morning, when visibility is best; departure times are confirmed the day before.
  • The pilot may delay, reroute or cancel a flight for safety; landing duration at high altitude is limited to 10–15 minutes.
  • If a flight is cancelled by the operator due to weather, it is rescheduled or refunded in full.

Booking and Payment

  • All rates include 13% VAT. Where a restricted area applies (Manaslu, Humla / Hilsa, Upper Mustang, Dolpo), the government heli permit of USD 200 per flight is included in the rate shown.
  • Extra or en-route landings and hospital touches are charged at USD 260 each. Local taxes and fees outside the airport are payable by the charter party.
  • A deposit of 50% is required to block the helicopter; the balance is due 7 days before the flight.
  • Cancellation more than 7 days before the flight: full refund less bank charges. Within 7 days: 50%. Within 48 hours: no refund.
  • Rates are subject to change with fuel prices and government landing fees. Restricted area permits (Upper Mustang, Manaslu) are charged extra.

Health and Documents

  • Guests flying from Kathmandu directly to high altitudes should be aware of the risk of altitude sickness; high landings are kept short for this reason.
  • Passport or ID details of all passengers are required at the time of booking.
  • For rescue flights, the guest’s insurance policy number and emergency contact must be shared before the trek.
