The Manaslu Helicopter Rescue service by Nepal Helicopter Service Pvt. Ltd. provides rapid medical evacuation for trekkers, climbers, and locals facing emergencies in the remote Manaslu region of Nepal. Rising to 8,163 meters (26,781 feet), Mount Manaslu the eighth-highest mountain in the world — stands majestically in the Gorkha District, part of the Mansiri Himal range of the central Nepalese Himalayas.
Known as the “Mountain of the Soul,” Manaslu offers challenging terrain, unpredictable weather, and high altitude conditions that can quickly lead to altitude sickness, injuries, or severe exhaustion. When emergencies strike, our dedicated helicopter rescue from Manaslu ensures timely evacuation from even the most inaccessible areas, delivering patients to Kathmandu hospitals within hours.
Nepal Helicopter Service operates with a team of experienced mountain pilots, emergency response experts, and certified medical staff, offering safe, quick, and professional helicopter rescues across the Manaslu Circuit and surrounding regions.
