How Much Luggage Can I Take on the Simikot Flight and Hilsa Helicopter?

Shivalaya Holidays Pvt. Ltd.

Use the baggage allowance issued for your specific Simikot flight and Hilsa helicopter arrangement. A domestic airline ticket, a helicopter group load plan and your international ticket can each have different limits. A single kilogram figure copied from another departure is unreliable.

Ask for the limits in writing

Request the combined or separate limits for checked and hand baggage, bag type, weight of any operator-issued duffel and how excess is handled. Ask whether the smaller aircraft has a different restriction on the return. Payment for excess may not make space available.

Pack for a separated bag

Carry documents, essential personal medicines, a warm layer and necessary overnight items within the approved cabin allowance. Confirm current airline rules for batteries and power banks. If leaving items at a hotel, check whether you return to the same city. A Kathmandu-in, Lucknow-out traveller needs a different luggage collection plan.
