The Hilsa Helicopter Transfer by Himalayan Helicopter is the fastest, safest, and most convenient way to reach Hilsa, Nepal's northern border crossing with Tibet (China). Situated at an elevation of approximately 3,720 meters (12,205 feet) in Humla District, Hilsa is the primary gateway for pilgrims traveling on the Kailash Mansarovar Yatra via Nepal.
Every year, thousands of Hindu, Buddhist, Jain, and Bon pilgrims travel through Hilsa on their spiritual journey to Mount Kailash and Lake Mansarovar. Due to the remote mountain terrain and limited road infrastructure, helicopter transfers have become the preferred transportation option for pilgrims, trekkers, tour operators, and emergency missions.
Himalayan Helicopter operates private helicopter charters from Simikot, Nepalgunj, and customized charter services from Kathmandu. During the journey, passengers enjoy spectacular aerial views of the Karnali River, Humla Valley, snow-covered Himalayan peaks, deep gorges, remote villages, and the breathtaking landscapes of northwestern Nepal.
