The price of the Helicopter Tour keeps changing depending on the season and activities in the world market. Different factors affect the price of the Heli tour to high altitudes of the Himalayas. Some of them are explained below.
The prime reason for the rise in the price of Helicopter tours in Nepal is the cost of spare parts. Nepal being a mountainous country uses advanced choppers; H125 and B3E Model Helicopter. Although the helicopters are manufactured in France, the majority of the spare parts are manufactured in Ukraine. The Russia-Ukraine war has disrupted the manufacturing and supply chain of spare parts of these models. Therefore, the cost of spare parts has increased in the market. War has directly influenced the price of a Helicopter tour in Nepal.
Helicopter companies do insurance to protect from damages and accidents. Chopper crash is one of the major reasons Insurance companies increase the premium. Such incidents possess higher risk of claim. Insurance covers the cost of all the damage to the Helicopter companies. Therefore, the rise in insurance premium has resulted in increasing the price of Helicopter tours like ABC Heli tours and Everest Heli tours.
Another factor for increasing price is a rise in operation and maintenance costs. The Civil Aviation Authority of Nepal (CAAN) who is responsible for aviation in Nepal has increased the fee for ground handling, operations, and maintenance of airports. This has increased the price of Heli tours in 2025.
Peak season also directly affects the price of a Heli tour in Nepal. During peak season, there is high demand but limited supply. Helicopters are mostly used for rescue operations. In the spring season, they are busy with Everest expeditions. In Autumn, they are busy with Manaslu, Kanchenjunga, Annapurna, and Dhaulagiri mountain rescue. Therefore, it is difficult for agencies to balance demand and supply. This results in the hike of helicopter tour price in Nepal.
