Helicopter Flights

SIGHTSEEING / HELI TOUR
We can arrange arial sightseeing tours, heli trek tours for people who have limited time or elderly, who are not able to trek due to physical conditions. The heli tour can be run for trek to inaccessible areas or just to shorten the trips which otherwise would have taken longer. Since the whirlybird needs only a small landing space, it can be hired to take tourists to whichever destination and at whatever time they want to go. No wonder chartering a helicopter for sight-seeing / heli trips has become a popular tourist activity in Nepal. Some of the popular heli charter flights are listed below.

HELICOPTER RESCUE/EVACUATION
We can arrange helicopter evacuation in emergency due to altitude sickness or suffering injury during expedition/trekking and/or health conditions requiring urgent medical attention and care. We have very good working relationship with local helicopter companies and thus rescue can be arranged very swiftly.
