alt Hacker NewsI wonder how much a chopper ride would cost at "reasonable rates" (e.g, not the air ambulance but just a chopper).

Per person around $1500. Over 10k of you can’t fill the chopper.

I'm assuming less than the average ambulance ride in the USA

I can tell you exactly what it cost for me. I took the helicopter from Gorakshep, the highest/last town on the EBC trek, to Lukla, the crazy airport people call the most dangerous one in the world. For me, a 255 lbs / 115kg guy, 2 Nepalis that are each half my size, a pilot, and our not-that-heavy hiking gear was 2000 USD in October of 2024.
