Nepal Suspends Helicopter Tours to Everest Amid Environmental Concerns

Credited from: SCMP

  • Nepal's airlines have suspended helicopter flights to the Everest region due to local protests regarding environmental concerns and income loss.
  • The suspension affects not only tourism but also essential emergency rescue operations in remote areas of Nepal.
  • Helicopters previously offered a rapid alternative, reducing the trek to Everest base camp from two weeks to just one day for $1,000.
  • The Airlines Operators Association of Nepal cited threats from local youths and safety concerns as reasons for the halt.
  • Discussions are ongoing to find a resolution, with local officials emphasizing the need for a separate emergency landing spot.
