Mountain Helicopters

Mountain Helicopters Nepal is a helicopter operator founded in Kathmandu on 20 July 2009. The website describes more than 17 years of flying across Nepal, covering tours, private charter and rescue work.

The company says its flight desk is staffed 24 hours a day and its aircraft are ready to fly every day of the year. It operates under Nepal's civil aviation regulations, and the website says every aircraft has HTAWS terrain avoidance technology.

The fleet is made up of Airbus AS350 B3e helicopters. The company describes the fleet as engineered to handle Nepal's diverse terrain with confidence.

Popular tours include the Everest Base Camp helicopter tour with a Kala Patthar landing, a Pokhara to Annapurna Base Camp tour, and a Pokhara to Muktinath pilgrimage flight. An Everest overfly includes Gokyo Lake and Kalapatthar landings, with breakfast at Hotel Everest View. A 90 minute flight goes from Kathmandu to Makalu Base Camp.

Private charter tours can be arranged, including routes to Langtang and Mustang. The website says its tours are built around safety, luxury and views of the Himalayan mountains.

Emergency work covers rescue and relief across Nepal. The website says crews carry climbers down from high camps, airlift injured people from remote roads, evacuate patients from district hospitals and deliver food and medicine after floods, landslides and earthquakes. It says more than 4,105 people have been helped through rescue support.

The sales desk is at the Domestic Terminal of Tribhuvan International Airport. Bookings can be made by website, email or WhatsApp.
