Best Time to do Tilicho Heli Tour

To enjoy the tour flying under the blue skies, we suggest Spring and autumn seasons. During these seasons, the weather is stable and the views of the mountains and lake are delightful. The skies are almost always clear from monsoon clouds or winter fog and this fact not only guarantees a smooth takeoff but can lead to stunning views.

Advantages of This Trip

The best part about the Tilicho Lake Helicopter Tour is the comfort and luxury it serves for you. One of the highest altitudes and is pretty without any physical experience of trekking in the world. This is great for those short on time, as you can visit in a single day. The view from the sky of the Himalayas is something that cannot be experienced by all which makes it an epic adventure.

Why Tilicho Lake Tour is getting Popular?

There are a few reasons why the Tilicho Lake Helicopter Tour has proved to be very popular. Still, travelers can see the Annapurna region and Lake Tilicho better without the 10-day + trek. The chance you get to visit the highest glacial lake on earth from so close and also witness panoramic views of The Shivalik Mountains is why this adventure had become one mandatory attempt for wanderlusts and adrenaline junkies.

Difficulties of This Trip

One of the major difficulties of the Tilicho Lake Heli Tour is altitude. When travelers do Annapurna Circuit Trekking, they have enough time to acclimatize themselves. The rapid altitude change for those unacclimatized at the lake sits at 4,919 meters and requires a short gasp of breath. Moreover, Himalayas weather is however unpredictable and there might be chances of flight cancellations or flight delays.

Document and License Requirements

To book the Tilicho Lake Helicopter Tour, travelers must provide valid passports & necessary visas to enter Nepal. For the helicopter tour, trekking permits are not required but it is a good idea to check with a tour company like Overland Trek Nepal if you need any other permits or even documents according to the routes selected.

Required fitness for the tour

The journey is not as difficult as Tilicho Lake Trekking. You will be flying in the charter and spend around 15-20 minutes around the Lake. Having said that it doesn’t mean you shouldn’t be fit at all. Decent physical conditions with good heart condition would be helpful. However, we suggest consulting with your doctor once before embarking on this adventurous trip to Tilicho Lake.

Terms and Conditions

Tilicho Lake Heli Tour depends on weather and helicopter flight availability. If for any reason we need to cancel your booking due to bad weather you will be able to reschedule or get a full refund. Terms and Conditions while booking and safety instructions to be followed by the tour operator should be necessarily checked before traveling.

Weight Capacity and Number of People per Flight

Every helicopter is only capable of accommodating 450-500 kg, combined weight of passengers and luggage. Most flights are limited to four additional people, but this number can vary depending on the combined weight of everyone getting in the helicopter. Overland Trek Nepal carefully plans the weight distribution for all clients to protect and assure comfort for all travelers when we take a flight.

Trip Duration

Normally the Tilicho Tour from Kathmandu takes 3 to 4 hours including flight timing and ground time. The Pokhara option is a bit shorter with the entire trip taking about 2.5 to 3 hours. To begin with, the short but exciting trek is for people who want to do something in a week or two and explore the Himalayas.

How to Avoid Altitude Illness

To avoid altitude sickness during the tour, we suggest drinking enough water and staying hydrated. The visit to the lake is short, but rest at your stop and don’t exert yourself. Consult a doctor and consider taking altitude sickness medication if you start to feel the symptoms of altitude sickness.
