Overview

The Simikot Transfer by Helicopter offered by Himalayan Helicopter is the fastest and most reliable way to reach Simikot, the administrative headquarters of Humla District in northwestern Nepal. Located at an altitude of approximately 2,910 meters (9,547 feet), Simikot serves as the primary gateway to the Kailash Mansarovar Yatra via Nepal, Limi Valley Trek, Hilsa, and many remote Himalayan villages.

Due to its remote location and limited road connectivity, Simikot is best accessed by helicopter. Our private helicopter transfer provides a comfortable and time-saving alternative to scheduled domestic flights, which are often affected by weather conditions.

Whether you are joining the Kailash Mansarovar pilgrimage, beginning a trekking adventure, transporting cargo, supporting humanitarian missions, or requiring emergency medical evacuation, Himalayan Helicopter provides safe, efficient, and flexible helicopter charter services to Simikot.

Passengers enjoy spectacular aerial views of western Nepal, deep river valleys, alpine forests, snow-covered Himalayan peaks, and remote mountain settlements throughout the journey.
