Send a request by data

Data often works where voice does not. This reaches our rescue desk, which alerts operators by phone. No account needed.

The only thing we need. Everything below helps the crew, and none of it is required.

Where are you?

Altitude sickness, a fall, an injury — anything you can say helps the crew plan.

This reaches our rescue desk, which alerts operators by phone.

What happens when you send

  1. Logged with a referenceThe rescue desk sees it the moment it arrives.
  2. The desk rings operatorsThose with a crew on standby, until one can fly.
  3. A call back to your numberWhile the desk finds an aircraft that can fly.

While you wait

  1. If this is altitude sickness, descend. Losing 500 m does more than anything else available to you, and a helicopter may not fly for hours.
  2. Keep the casualty warm and still. Do not give food or drink if unconscious.
  3. Mark a landing site if you safely can: flat, clear of loose debris, ideally 25 m across. Weigh down anything that could blow into the rotor.
  4. Keep the phone on and charged. The crew will call this number.

Other emergency numbers in Nepal

The Himalayan Rescue Association runs aid posts at Pheriche (Everest) and Manang (Annapurna) in the spring and autumn trekking seasons.

Go Heli Nepal is a marketplace. Rescue is flown by CAAN-certified operators, and their crews make the final call on whether conditions allow a flight. A rescue flight is never guaranteed.
