Flying here
No scheduled route through Manaslu Base Camp

Asked about Manaslu Base Camp
Manaslu Base Camp, in detail
Where is Manaslu Base Camp?
Manaslu Base Camp is in Gorkha, Nepal, at 28.5500° north and 84.5600° east. It is a helicopter landing site rather than an aerodrome, identified on this platform as NPMB.
How high is Manaslu Base Camp?
Manaslu Base Camp stands at 15,750 ft, which is 4,801 m above sea level. That is the surveyed elevation of the landing surface itself rather than of the surrounding terrain, which is why it can differ from the height quoted for the town or the ridge above it.
Can a helicopter fly to Manaslu Base Camp?
Yes, as a private charter. No operator on this platform publishes a scheduled helicopter route through Manaslu Base Camp, which is not the same as it being unreachable — a helicopter needs a level site and a clear approach rather than a runway. The charter desk quotes it against the date, the party and the landing permissions.
Is Manaslu Base Camp an airport?
No. Manaslu Base Camp is a helicopter landing site with no runway and no ICAO registration. The code NPMB used on this site is our own identifier, so that a dispatcher and a pilot are naming the same patch of ground. Nepal's registered aerodromes all carry codes beginning VN.
Flying through Manaslu Base Camp?
Leave a number. A dispatcher rings back and plans the departure, the weather window and the landing around who is on board — the part of a Himalayan flight that gets decided on the phone rather than in a form.
