Pick a date online or just ask us. We need each passenger's name, nationality and weight to plan the load.
- 02
An early pickup

Before you book
All questionsWhere do your flights start?
Most tours start from Kathmandu's domestic terminal, and we pick you up from your hotel. The Annapurna Base Camp tour starts in Pokhara, and charters can start anywhere a helicopter can land.
How many people fit in a helicopter?
Up to five passengers. Up at the highest landings, Kala Patthar for one, the thin air means a helicopter can't lift as many, so a full group may be landed in two short lifts.
Is there an age limit?
No. Children and older travellers fly with us often. If you have a heart or lung condition, or you're travelling with a baby, choose a route with a lower landing and let us know when you book.
Looking for a route that isn't here?
Pilgrimages, transfers, trek pickups, filming, or even a proposal on a mountain ridge: just tell us where and when, and we'll plan a private charter for you.
