Questions and answers
How much does the Lukla to Gorakshep Charter Helicopter Flight cost?
A private charter on this route starts from US$3,500 per flight and carries up to five passengers, so the cost can be shared between the group. Final pricing depends on weight, waiting time and any extra stops.

About 25 minutes in the air. Exact time depends on the route, wind and whether the helicopter stops to refuel.

Weather, weight and safety
Mountain flying depends on visibility, wind and temperature. Thin air reduces what a helicopter can lift, which is why passenger and baggage weights matter and why flights usually operate in the morning. Carry travel insurance that covers helicopter use and evacuation, and keep a spare day in your schedule.
