Summit Helicopters is a helicopter operator licensed by the Civil Aviation Authority of Nepal. You can book a seat or a full charter on its aircraft through Nepal Helicopter Service – we are an independent charter booking company, not Summit Helicopters and not their sales agent. Tell us your route and date and we will tell you what is actually available, and at what price.
Summit Helicopters Pvt. Ltd. was previously known as Fishtail Air Pvt. Ltd. This company is well known for tough Himalayan rescues and charter Helicopter services. The company was established in 1997 under the Air Operators Certificate issued by the government of Nepal.
Since its establishment, the company has been actively involved in operations throughout the country and some occasional flight to Trans-border countries with a fleet of three helicopters, which includes one AS 350 B3e "Ecureuil", one AS 350 B3+ "Ecureuil" and one Bell 206B III Jet Ranger helicopter.
Summit Helicopter offers safe and comfortable Helicopter flights within Nepal. This is the trustworthy company for Heli Trekking, Heli Tours, Rescue and Medical Evacuation. The pilots and all team members are experienced and has spent decades in this field, serving quality Helicopter service in Nepal.
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 Summit Helicopters 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 Summit Helicopters 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 Summit Helicopters 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.
