Indicative: these are fares operators have published, not a quote. Your price comes from the quotes the desk collects, and nothing is charged until a specific quote is accepted. Usually flown in Airbus AS350 B3e-class helicopters.

## Highlights

- Lands near the temple courtyard
- Replaces a four-hour uphill walk
- Kanchenjunga on a clear morning

## Good to know

- Flies from Kathmandu or Pokhara; from Pokhara it is a longer flight
- About 1h 15m each way from Kathmandu, plus a refuelling stop when the load needs one
- Very busy during Dashain and Tihar
