The Ama Yangri Helicopter Tour brings you directly to the scenic and sacred Ama Yangri Peak in Nepal’s Helambu / Langtang region. Rather than trekking for days, you fly in, land near the peak or its viewpoint, soak in panoramic mountain views and return — all in a few hours.
The helicopter typically departs from Kathmandu’s domestic terminal. It flies into the Helambu / Langtang region and lands at a suitable flat area near Ama Yangri Peak, allowing you to step out, take in the views, snap photos and enjoy a short break.
The tour usually lasts about 1.5 to 2 hours in total — including the flight in, 20-30 minutes on the ground near Ama Yangri for sightseeing and photos, and the return flight to Kathmandu.
The cost can vary by season, number of passengers and landing specifics. As a typical reference: a private charter for up to 5 passengers is offered at around USD 2,800. Group-joining seats may be available at around USD 600 per person. The total can vary depending on weight, landing point and timing.
You’ll enjoy sweeping views of the Helambu and Langtang Himalayas, including peaks such as Langtang Lirung and Ganesh Himal. The landing near Ama Yangri gives you rare access to a quieter, less-visited part of the Himalayas, combining dramatic scenery with cultural and spiritual calm.
The best months are spring (March–May) and autumn (September–November) when skies are clearer and weather conditions more stable. Flights can also operate outside these windows, but visibility and comfort may be impacted in monsoon (June–August) or winter-freeze conditions.
Since Ama Yangri is at moderate altitude (around 3,700-4,000 m depending on landing) the helicopter landing alleviates days of hiking. The short stay helps reduce risk of altitude issues, but staying hydrated and moving gently is still advised.
Typically up to 5 passengers can fly in one helicopter under charter terms, depending on aircraft type and total weight (passengers plus baggage). Operators will specify exact weight limits to ensure safe flight in mountainous terrain.
The package often includes round-trip helicopter flight, pilot and fuel costs, airport/helipad transfers, and landing at the Ama Yangri viewpoint. It may exclude meals, travel insurance, or extra stops — check your booking details carefully.
Yes. You may need to cover personal expenses like meals, optional photography fees, baggage overage, or any ground time extra. Some landing zones may also incur small helipad or landing fees — confirm with the operator.
Yes, when conducted by a reputable operator with experienced mountain-flight pilots and well-maintained helicopters. As with any mountain flight, weather and visibility are critical — and flights are done only when conditions allow.
Even though the tour is short, the landing area can be cool and windy. Come dressed in layers: a warm jacket, gloves, sunglasses and sturdy shoes. A camera or smartphone to capture views, your ID/passport, and a small bag with water are recommended.
Yes — given the short duration and minimal physical exertion, it’s suitable for many travellers including older adults or families. If you have serious health issues, check with your doctor and the helicopter operator in advance.
If weather or visibility is not suitable for safe flying, your flight may be postponed or rescheduled. A good operator will offer alternate dates or refund options according to their policy.
You can book via the helicopter tour company’s website, email or WhatsApp. Provide your preferred date, number of passengers and any special requests. Once confirmed, you’ll receive your itinerary, meeting details and pre-flight instructions.
Yes. If you opt for a private charter, you can customise your itinerary — e.g., combine Ama Yangri with another nearby scenic place or landing. Ask your operator what’s feasible for your timeframe and budget.
The scenic treat includes panoramic Himalayan ridges, deep forested valleys of Helambu/Langtang region, terraced hillsides, and when the weather is clear, distant views of higher Himalayan peaks. The landing gives you closer ground-level views of Ama Yangri and the surrounding region.
Since the region is within the Langtang/Helambu zone, standard national park or conservation area permits may apply if you extend further — but for a short helicopter landing, the operator usually handles necessary approvals. It’s best to confirm when booking.
Ama Yangri is revered by local Hyolmo and Sherpa communities in Helambu as a guardian deity and watch-over mountain. The peak is embedded in local culture, with monasteries, prayer flags and traditions woven into the mountain villages you fly above or near.
Book several days to weeks in advance, especially during peak clear-sky months (spring/autumn). Helicopter slots are limited and weather windows narrow, so reserving early helps secure your date and preferred time.
