Operators fly the helicopters; booking companies like ours arrange the flight, the permits and the ground side, and carry the booking. We are not tied to one operator, so if Heli Everest has nothing free on your date we will say so and offer another licensed operator at the same published price rather than leave you waiting.
What you get either way: the operator named before you pay, the government fees quoted up front, and one number to call when the weather turns. Phone or WhatsApp +977 9818392976.
Comparing operators first? Our guide to helicopter companies in Nepal lists every licensed operator, what each flies, and how to check a company is genuine before you pay.
Yes. Tell us the route, the date and how many passengers, and we will check what Heli Everest has available and confirm the price. If their aircraft are committed that morning we will offer another licensed operator on the same route rather than hold you up.
No. We are an independent helicopter charter and tour booking company registered in Nepal. We are not Heli Everest and not their official sales agent. We arrange flights on licensed operators' aircraft, and we tell you which operator is flying you before you pay.
Charter prices go by route and aircraft rather than by operator, and the prices published on this site are what we sell at whichever operator flies you. An Everest Base Camp seat is USD 1,399, Kathmandu to Lukla is USD 550 per person or USD 2,500 as a one-way charter. Government fees are extra and are the same for everyone.
Every commercial operator in Nepal must hold an Air Operator Certificate from the Civil Aviation Authority of Nepal, and that certificate can be suspended or withdrawn. Ask which operator holds your flight and check that operator against the authority's current list before you pay.
