Rescue flight

Mountain rescue & emergency air support.

CAAN-licensed crews for emergency medical evacuation, search & rescue, and hospital coordination — weather and clearances permitting.

Capabilities

What we support

Core rescue and emergency services coordinated with authorised partners when conditions allow.

CAAN Licensed crews & aircraft

24/7 Emergency Response Alarm Centre
Ops desk awareness for urgent tasking during operating season — call or WhatsApp with location and situation.
Emergency Medical Evacuation
Time-critical lift support when weather, daylight and authorised medical coordination permit safe flight.
Search & Rescue
Support into remote valleys and trail corridors as part of coordinated SAR tasking with ground teams.
Longline Rescue
Longline capability when terrain does not allow a landing and procedures / conditions are suitable.
Telemedicine
Coordination with medical partners so clinical guidance can inform priority and destination planning.
Hospital Coordination
Handover planning toward appropriate receiving facilities when the mission and airspace allow.

How missions run

Crew reviews weather, daylight, altitude, landing or longline options, and regulatory requirements before any launch.

When tasked, we work with authorised ground, medical and hospital partners so the aircraft sits in a clear chain of care.

If the window is not honest, we hold and update. Pressure never overrides the pilot-in-command.

Guest scenic routes and rescue support share the same CAAN-licensed pilots who know these valleys year-round.

Request flow

Contact ops
Call or WhatsApp with location context, urgency, and any medical notes from on-site teams.
Share essentials
Coordinates or nearest landmark, number of people, injuries if known, and weather you can see on site.
Stand by for decision

Important

Rescue and emergency flights depend on weather, daylight, airspace and official tasking — they cannot be guaranteed on demand.
Guest scenic packages and rescue tasking are separate. A booked holiday flight is not a rescue retainer.
For life-threatening emergencies in Nepal, contact local emergency services first; we support when authorised and operationally able.
Travel insurance with helicopter evacuation cover is strongly recommended for all high-altitude travel.
