Our Nepal Helicopter Charter Service gives you the freedom to design your own Himalayan adventure. Whether you want to fly from Kathmandu to Pokhara for breakfast, explore the remote Mustang Valley, photograph the Annapurna range from every angle, or make a multi-stop tour of Nepal's most iconic landmarks—the itinerary is yours to decide.
With a dedicated pilot and a private aircraft, you're not bound by fixed schedules or group tours. Charter by the hour, by the day, or for multiple days. Our team handles all flight permits, landing clearances, and logistics so you can focus on the experience.
Popular charter routes include Kathmandu–Pokhara–Jomsom, the Everest experience (private), Annapurna circuit flightseeing, and mountain photography missions.
• Flight permits for certain areas (e.g., Everest, restricted regions) require advance booking.
• Weight and balance restrictions apply; passengers over 100 kg may need an additional seat.
• Weather can affect schedules; we build flexibility into every charter.
• Valid passport required for all passengers.
• Landing fees at mountain airstrips are included in your charter quote.
Your itinerary is custom-built around your preferences. A typical single-day charter might include: morning departure from Kathmandu, scenic flight over the Himalayas, landing at a mountain destination (Pokhara, Jomsom, or Everest region), exploration time, and return by afternoon. Multi-day charters can include overnight stops at lodges or resorts.
Your pilot and driver arrive at your hotel. Enjoy a quick coffee and briefing while the helicopter is prepped. Review your custom itinerary and confirm weather conditions.
Take off from the helipad. Your charter begins—head toward your first destination. Your pilot provides commentary on the landscape, peaks, and landmarks below.
Land at your chosen destination—whether it's Pokhara's lakeside, Jomsom's mountain airstrip, or a remote Everest viewpoint. Spend time exploring, taking photos, and enjoying the scenery.
Continue your aerial journey. Your pilot can circle specific peaks (Machhapuchhre, Dhaulagiri, Annapurna, or Everest), fly through valleys, or follow river gorges—whatever you prefer.
Touch down at a second location for more exploration—perhaps a mountain lodge for a late breakfast, a remote monastery, or a birthplace of a Buddha. The choice is entirely yours.
Begin your journey back. Your pilot can take a different route for fresh perspectives and photo opportunities. Relax and take in the final aerial views.
Land at the helipad. Your driver is waiting to take you back to your hotel or onward to your next destination.

We chartered a helicopter for a private photography tour of the Annapurna range. The flexibility was incredible—our pilot took us exactly where we wanted, waited while we set up shots, and even suggested angles we hadn't considered. A bucket-list experience made perfect by the charter team.
As a corporate group of 4, we needed to visit multiple project sites across Nepal in a single day. The charter service made it possible—we visited three locations in different regions, had productive meetings at each, and were back in Kathmandu by evening. Professional, efficient, and highly recommended.
We booked a private charter for our honeymoon and it was the most romantic experience of our lives. Our pilot arranged a champagne landing at a quiet ridge with panoramic views of the Himalayas just as the sun was setting. The team handled every detail—we just showed up and enjoyed.
I was nervous about chartering a helicopter for the first time, but the team made everything incredibly easy. From coordinating my hotel pickup to handling all the permits, the logistics were flawless. The flight itself was smooth, the views were unreal, and the pilot was both skilled and friendly.
Charter pricing depends on the helicopter type, flight duration, distance, and landing fees. As a general guideline, hourly rates for a Eurocopter AS350 B3e (5-seater) start at approximately $2,500/hour. A full-day charter (up to 8 hours) ranges from $8,000–$15,000 depending on the route and complexity. Contact us for a precise quote.
Absolutely—that's the whole point of a charter. You can choose your departure location, destinations, stops, duration, and even onboard catering. Our team will work with you and your pilot to design the perfect itinerary based on your interests, schedule, and budget.
We offer a range of helicopters depending on your group size and requirements: Eurocopter AS350 B3e (5 seats + pilot, ideal for most charters), Bell 407 (6 seats + pilot, longer range), and Airbus H130 (7 seats + pilot, wider cabin). Twin-engine options can be arranged for high-altitude or extended flights.
For standard charters within Nepal (Kathmandu, Pokhara, popular routes), 48–72 hours notice is usually sufficient. For restricted areas (Upper Mustang, Dolpo, Everest region), flight permits require 7–14 days advance booking. We recommend booking as early as possible to secure your preferred dates and aircraft.
Yes. All our helicopters operate under Nepal Civil Aviation Authority safety standards and international maintenance protocols. Our pilots are highly experienced, with extensive mountain flying experience and thousands of hours logged. We monitor weather conditions continuously and will adjust your itinerary if conditions change—safety is never compromised.
Private charters offer more generous luggage allowances than shared tours. Typically you can bring up to 20–30 kg per person depending on the aircraft and passenger count. If you're traveling light (camera bag + small duffel), there's usually no concern. Let us know your luggage needs when booking.
Yes. A private charter can include a landing at Everest Base Camp (5,364 m) as part of your itinerary. You'll also get the Kala Patthar flyover and breakfast at Everest View Hotel. The advantage of a charter is timing flexibility—you can depart earlier or spend more time at each stop compared to the shared group tour.
