Himalaya Heli Ski - Classic Packages

Himalaya Heli Ski offer a heli skiing experience like no other in the Himachal Pradesh of India, with terrain amongst soaring peaks in the Himalaya.

The Classic packages are boutique Manali heli skiing packages with mixed groups, so you can join as an individual, couple or small group. Non-skier/snowboarder packages are also available.

The Classic package incorporates all of the elements of the exclusive private package with the main difference being you share the helicopter with other guests as opposed to your own group.

See the Himalaya Heli Ski overview page for information on the operation, location and safety aspects. Also see the Powderhounds’ review of Himalaya Heli Ski for additional information.

The Himalaya Heli Ski mixed group heli skiing packages include deluxe accommodation, 30,500 metres of heliskiing, all chef cooked meals, qualified guide (max 4 guests per guide), cultural experiences, transfers between Chandigarh and Manali by combination of air and land, and more. See the rates and inclusions tab for more information.

The package offers up to 6 days of heli skiing, depending on weather. The included vertical of the package is 30,500 vertical metres and additional vertical can be purchased beyond that. The vertical guarantee is a minimum of 20,000 metres. If this minimum isn’t reached (which rarely occurs), a refund per 1,000 vertical metres is applied.

Lodging: Manu Allaya Resort

The lodging for the Himalaya Heli Ski heli skiing packages is at the Manu Allaya Resort in Manali. The hotel offers deluxe, comfortable mountain lodging for guests, and conveniently, the heli pad is adjacent to the guest rooms.

All guest rooms are spacious and individually heated with private bathrooms and comfortable beds. Double, twin and single accommodation is available. There is plenty of hot water for showers, bottled water for drinking, and electricity, including generator back-up in case of mains electricity failure (this is mountainous India after all!).

They can easily cater for special diets providing they have advanced notice.

The bar has a small selection of beer and wine, and a reasonable selection of spirits. It is recommended that you bring any special liquors or wines that you may require.

Lunch is served on the mountain on heli ski days and generally includes soup, sandwiches, and slices such as brownies. Water and snacks are available in the helicopter.
