About Nord Extreme
We started as a two-helicopter operation flying rescue and cargo runs out of Kathmandu. Today the same crews fly guests to Everest, Annapurna, Mustang and Langtang — because the mountains that made us careful are the ones we now fly for the view.
Our story
Nord Extreme began with rescue and logistics work — tight weather calls, high landings, and crews who know when not to fly. Guest journeys grew from that same discipline: clear briefings, buffer days on every multi-day trip, and routes designed around real operating windows rather than brochure promises.
We remain a Kathmandu-based team. Pilots and mountain guides work these corridors year-round, not as seasonal charters. When you book with us, you get the same people who read the morning forecast and fly the line.
Small groups and private charters, flown by the same CAAN-licensed operators on every departure.
How we operate
It is why schedules include contingency days and why we cancel when the mountain asks us to.
Aircraft and pilots operate under Civil Aviation Authority of Nepal certification, with maintenance discipline treated as non-negotiable.
Departures target the calmest flying windows. Multi-day itineraries carry buffer days so a socked-in morning does not collapse the trip.
Pilots and guides are based in Kathmandu and fly these valleys weekly — not one-off contractors hired for the season.
Route, altitude, and landing expectations are explained before you board so the day feels organised, not improvised.
Milestones
Two-aircraft operation focused on rescue support and high-valley logistics.
First curated scenic and heli-return journeys for travellers with limited leave.
Everest, Annapurna, Upper Mustang and Langtang operated as core corridors.
Private and small-group departures, still flown by the same full-time crews.
The team
Faces on the radio and on the ground — not a rotating seasonal roster.

Matches routes to dates and fitness — the first voice most guests hear.

High-valley landings across Khumbu and Annapurna corridors.

Schedules, weather buffers, and the ops desk that keeps departures honest.

Ground segments, altitude awareness, and the walk between landings.
