❓ Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
What’s the difference between a custom and standard helicopter tour?
A custom tour lets you choose your own destinations, timing, stops, and experience level, while standard tours follow a pre-set route and schedule.
How far in advance should I plan a custom itinerary?
We recommend 2–4 weeks in advance, especially for multi-stop or remote-area flights like Upper Mustang or Muktinath.
Can I combine trekking with a helicopter return?
Absolutely! Many clients trek up to EBC or ABC, then take a helicopter back to Kathmandu or Pokhara.
How are prices calculated for custom heli tours?
Pricing depends on total flight hours, group size, fuel range, landing permits, and extras like meals, guides, or videography.
Can we fly to multiple destinations in one trip?
Yes, if time and fuel range allow. Popular combos include:
Everest Base Camp + Gokyo Lake
Annapurna Base Camp + Mardi Himal
Gosaikunda + Langtang Valley
Are there limitations on landing locations?
Yes — all landings must be approved and safe. Some remote areas may require special permissions or weather clearance.
Do I need permits for remote destinations?
Yes — for areas like Everest, Annapurna, Mustang, or Langtang, you’ll need national park or TIMS permits. We arrange these for you.
Can I plan a custom itinerary for a surprise proposal or event?
Definitely. We’ve helped clients plan marriage proposals, birthday surprises, and anniversary flights — all fully private and personalized.
Are professional photographers or videographers available?
Yes — we can include a pro photographer or even drone operator to document your journey (where legally permitted).
Can international and Indian tourists both book custom tours?
Yes — we cater to Indian, Nepali, and global clients with tailored support, INR/UPI payment options, and multilingual coordination.
