FAQs

The normal capacity of a helicopter embarking on the Langtang Tour is 5–6 passengers and a pilot. That said, the numbers can slightly vary, depending on the helicopter model, the weight of the passengers, and the baggage. It is smart to confirm the exact capacity with your tour operator before booking.

We suggest mornings because they often have calmer winds and clearer skies than other times of the day, which is best for a heli ride. A clear visibility of the sky creates a lesser chance of turbulence and gives passengers the best view of the mountains and the surroundings.

One can normally expect to pay Rs. 33,000 to Rs. 47,000 for the package. But it all depends on the operator, the season you’re traveling in, and certain inclusions in the package. Other than that, your personal expenses are not included in the package.
