Helicopter Charter in Nepal, Rescue & Evacuation, Heli Tour in Nepal
Ms. Annie Rivier from France was on her expedition to Putha Hiuchuli Summit at up to 7000m when she fell sick to altitude sickness and snow blindness/sun stroke on her way back.
As soon as we got a call for rescue, our B3 helicopter AJI was flown immediately by Capt. Stephan Sagesser for Putha Base camp from where she was rescued for Kathmandu.
We wish her the earliest recovery.

Early this morning we flew a lovely couple- Arlene Devermont and Dennis Devermont from Los Angeles- on a heli tour to Annapurna Base Camp South (~13400ft).
Captain Steve picked them up from the ‘Lakecity’ (Pokhara Airport) and directly flew them to the Base Camp where they had 30 minutes of ground time to enjoy the astonishing 360 degree view and click pictures. They were thereafter flown back to Pokhara.
We hope that you had a delightful experience.
Thank you for flying Fishtail Air.
Annapurna Base Camp
Bishal Magar, a Nepali guide was rescued from Manang Area.
Bishal was on his expedition when he suffered from major altitude sickness. When we were notified of the rescue Captain Deepak immediately took off with co-pilot Ranjan Limbu from Kathmandu. They headed directly for Bhrikuti Base camp where Bishal was found stuck in a glacier at 17500ft, unconscious and in a very critical condition of health.
The two pilots together lifted him to the helicopter and flew him directly to Kathmandu where an ambulance was on standby to drive him to the hospital without delay.
Wishes to Bishal for resumption of health.
Our Bell helicopter flew to Pheriche (14340ft) this morning to pick up Business Tycoon Vinod Mittal and his friends for Kathmandu.
Captain Steven flew 9N-AII directly from Kathmandu to Pheriche and back to Kathmandu. Vinod Mittal is the sibling of International Tycoon Lakshmi Mittal and the son of Mohan Lal Mittal.

Our AS 350 B3 AJI flew 6 passengers most of whom were Chinese to Syangboche this afternoon. Wu Zhiynam, Cheun Likin, Ms. Ding Haiqiong, Huang Foruns and Wuzhi Uwa were accompanied by Ms. Shital Sharma and they were all flown on our machine by Capt. Deepak.
The group spent the night at Hotel Everest View and were picked up next day for a delightful Heli flight back to Kathmandu.
Thank you for flying with Fishtail Air.
Heli tour to Syangboche
Our AS 350 B3 carried out a rescue flight this morning from Hilsa (10700ft).
Mr. Prakash Tamang met with an unfortunate accident on his motorbike close to the Chinese border and fractured both his legs. The medical attention he was receiving at Hilsa was going to prove futile unless he travelled to the capital.
As soon as Fishtail Air was notified of the rescue needed, Captain Deepak flew our B3 directly from Kathmandu Airport to Simikot and then to Hilsa. Prakash was flown to Kathmandu and given proper medical care.
We wish that his legs get better soon and that he can feel mother earth on his feet again.

Patient inside Helicopter
Mrs. Doma Lama was rescued this morning from Mugu Gaon (~12500ft).
She was critically ill and considering the remote area she was residing in, she had very less options of medical help. Capt. Ashish flew the B3 from Kathmandu early today directly for Mugu Gaon. She was immediately flown to Kathmandu for proper medical attention. Mrs. Lama was accompanied by her family members.
Fishtail Air wishes her the earliest recovery.
Rescue from Mugu
Three Australian citizens experienced a spectacular tour with Fishtail Air.
Early on the 30th of September our Helicopter AJI departed Kathmandu for Hotel Everest View -3800m (Syangboche) from where we picked the three and a guide for a mountain flight towards the prodigious Everest Region. After the heli tour they were dropped at Kongde Resort (4250m) for the evening.
The next day they were again picked up from Kongde and flown to Kathmandu.
We wish them a safe journey home.
