Booking a Flight on Manang Air Aircraft

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 Manang Air 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.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I book a Manang Air flight through Nepal Helicopter Service?

Yes. Tell us the route, the date and how many passengers, and we will check what Manang Air 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.

Is Nepal Helicopter Service part of Manang Air?

No. We are an independent helicopter charter and tour booking company registered in Nepal. We are not Manang Air 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.

What does a Manang Air charter cost?

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.

How do I check that Manang Air is properly licensed?

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hold an Air Operator Certificate from the Civil Aviation Authority of Nepal, and that certificate can be suspended or withdrawn.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.
