Overview

The Kathmandu to Lho Helicopter Shuttle offers a fast, safe, and comfortable private charter flight to Lho Village, one of the most scenic settlements in Nepal's Manaslu Region. Located at an elevation of approximately 3,180 meters, Lho is renowned for its breathtaking views of Mount Manaslu (8,163 m), traditional Tibetan Buddhist culture, and the historic Ribung Gompa Monastery.

This helicopter shuttle is ideal for trekkers beginning or ending the Manaslu Circuit Trek, expedition teams, local residents, researchers, photographers, and travelers seeking to avoid several days of road travel and trekking.

Operated by Himalayan Helicopter, every flight is conducted by experienced mountain pilots using modern helicopters maintained to the highest aviation safety standards.
