About us

We compare Nepal's licensed helicopter operators so you do not have to email eight of them.

Our story

Why this exists

Booking a helicopter in Nepal used to mean finding eight operator websites, sending eight emails, and comparing eight replies that came back over three days, if they came back at all. The same Everest tour could cost hundreds of dollars more from one operator than another, and the only way to find out was to do all the work yourself.

So we built the page we wanted as travellers. It shows every licensed operator that flies your route, with their real prices, side by side. You choose one, we pass your request on, and they accept or turn it down within four hours.

We are honest about what we are. This is a booking site, not an airline. We do not own helicopters, employ pilots, or hold a flying licence. The helicopter, the crew and the responsibility for your flight all belong to the operator you pick. Our job is to give you what you need to choose well, and to hold operators to the time they promised to answer in.

Our mission

To make helicopter travel in Nepal clear and open. One place to see every licensed choice at its real price, with nothing to pay until somebody has agreed to fly you.

Our vision

A market where operators compete on service and reliability rather than on who comes top in a search result, and where a trekker in trouble can find a crew ready to fly in under a minute.

Why choose us

What we actually do differently

Compare instead of guessing

See every operator that flies your route, with their prices side by side. One operator's own website cannot show you that.

Nothing to pay upfront

Operators send you a price and you choose. You pay only after you accept one. If none of them suit you, you pay nothing.

Licensed operators only

We check every operator's flying licence and take them off the site the day it runs out.

Honest about the weather

Flying in the Himalaya depends on the weather. We would rather tell you that now than at the helipad.
