We use fixed-wing aircrafts from Kathmandu to Nepalgunj and Nepalgunj to Simikot. Only between Simikot and Hilsa (Nepal-China Border) we use Helicopters. Nepalese Helicopters are prohibited to fly into the Chinese territory, so you will be airlifted by Helicopters only up to Hilsa. From Hilsa onward, you will be traveling in Land Cruiser (TOYOTA).
