Pathibhara Devi Pilgrimage

A charter from Kathmandu to Pathibhara Devi Temple in Taplejung, one of the most sacred shrines of eastern Nepal, revered by Hindus and by the Limbu (Kirat) community, with views of Kanchenjunga.

The helicopter flies east along the Himalaya, with views of Everest, Makalu and Kanchenjunga on clear days, and lands near the temple, avoiding the long drive to Taplejung and the steep climb on foot. Guests have about an hour for darshan before the return flight to Kathmandu. Landings depend on weather, and the number of passengers may be reduced at this altitude.

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.
