Go Heli Nepal quotes helicopter flights through 8 Nepali airports and 10 Himalayan landing sites, from Biratnagar Airport at 72 m (236 ft) to Kala Patthar landing site at 5,545 m (18,192 ft). Each has its own page.

## Registered aerodromes

ICAO codes in Nepal begin VN. An IATA code appears only where airlines fly a schedule.

## Helicopter landing sites

Helipads with no runway. None is an aerodrome, so none has an ICAO code; the NP codes are this platform's own identifiers.
