Flight Overview
Island Peak, with its awesome scenery and the majestic ranges of mountains, is a siren call that is simply irresistible to any adventurer. Its magnificent landscapes, fascinating geological formations, and rolling hills seem to get headlines with their beauty, drawing mountaineers from across the globe.
The Island Peak trail is very beautiful yet demanding. It is quite different from easy because of steep up-climbs, rocky pathways, and narrow lanes which give thick challenges to the experienced trekkers, too. Many climbers have to be rescued during or after a trek.
Island Peak Helicopter Rescue service mainly concerns the safety of climbers. It is fast and efficient in evacuating and returning trekkers to a safe location for emergencies that require medical attention.
Island Peak Helicopter Rescue
Most tourists find their travel insurance covers the cost of a helicopter rescue. Those traveling solo or without cover will have to hire a private helicopter which, although very expensive, provides a fast and safe exit from the mountain. It only takes a few minutes for the rescue flight to complete its journey in order to take all its passengers to safety.
Situated in the Khumbu region within the Sagarmatha National Park, Island Peak remains one of the favorite destinations of climbers who wish to visit this part of the planet during the trekking season. Indeed, the reasons are obvious: fine views, warm Nepali local hospitality, and relative access easiness. However, there is rugged terrain, featuring dramatic cliffs, snowy paths with numerous drops, and wide crevasses, which could pose risks for trekkers.
Take Precautions
Some of the other common problems in Island Peak are knee injuries, blisters, sprained ankles, and foot pain, which drive many a hiker to a standstill. Besides these, high altitude fatigue and nausea is also a common complaint because many climbers suffer from breathlessness as the oxygen levels go down. At higher altitudes, the lower atmospheric pressure may deteriorate the health of the hikers rather rapidly, and descent is required.
Many of them, in such circumstance when trekkers are forced to abandon their climb due to health issues, charter a helicopter for a safe and efficient clearance from the trail. It not only saves them from the exhausting terrain but also provides emergency medical assistance if necessary. Those who suffer from altitude sickness, being one of the major issues for Island Peak climbers, require a rescue by helicopter.
Besides the health-related rescues, helicopters are often required to avoid the hard, rocky trails with boulders. The rescue team also arranges supplemental oxygen for passengers who feel short of breath.
Our helicopter service can also be used for flying directly from Kathmandu for a more comfortable experience. From the helicopter, trekkers will be afforded an aerial tour of the breathtaking landscapes, cascading waterfalls, snow-capped peaks, and beautiful valleys.
