Additional Important Information for flight & Heli trip to Kailash Manasarovar

We operate regular trips from Nepalgunj to Simikot by small aircraft and regular helicopter services between Simikot and Hilsa. These flights are very unpredictable due to weather conditions. Uncertain weather conditions and safety reasons lead to frequent rescheduling of flights causing additional expenses on accommodation during the trip. The additional expenses have to be paid by the passengers directly at each destination in addition to the package cost. The unforeseen circumstances can be due to weather, political reasons such as strikes or riots, or technical failures of flight services.

Nepalgunj – Nepalgunj is a small town on the India-Nepal border around 200km from Lucknow. The accessibility to this town is by car or bus from Lucknow. Nepalgunj has a number of hotels and an Airport. Nepalgunj is connected to Simikot by Small aircraft flights operated by local airlines. Flights get canceled or delayed even in minor climatic disturbances for safety reasons and these flight delays are at the discretion of local authorities and flight operators. We do not bear any liability for such delays or cancellations. A delay causes additional expenses on accommodation over and above the package cost.

Simikot – Simikot is a small village in Nepal situated at the Northwestern border. It has an airstrip that connects it to Nepalgunj and a helicopter service connecting Hilsa. The flight and helicopter services to Nepalgunj and Hilsa are dependent upon weather conditions which is beyond our control. During any flight cancellations, our team will assist the group with accommodation and food. Simikot is far better than Hilsa with regard to accommodation and other facilities. Expenses incurred due to delay have to be borne by the individual directly to the hotel.

Hilsa – Hilsa is a very small town bordering Nepal and Tibet. Pilgrims visiting Kailash Mansarovar enter Tibet from Hilsa. In the event of adverse weather conditions accommodation, food, and medical help is very limited. If the flight delays get longer than expected, managing with the best available resources is the only option. The accommodation and food available is very basic. The delay can happen while going or returning from Kailash. The only option is to patiently wait for our turn to arrive at our destination safely.
