Himalayan Heli Adventures rescues 2 from remote villages

Two individuals from remote villages in Himachal Pradesh were successfully rescued by a helicopter from Himalayan Heli Adventures Manali after suffering serious medical conditions and injuries. The operations took place on Sunday afternoon from Saach village in Chamba district and yesterday morning from Bara Bhangal in Kangra district.

Himalayan Heli Adventures, which has been conducting helicopter skiing operations since 1990, promptly responded to distress calls from these snowbound areas. The Himachal Pradesh government coordinated with the company for the rescue mission.

Manjeev Bhalla, Director of Himalayan Heli Adventures, stated that the two flights were carried out under challenging weather conditions, with rain and sleet in Kullu Valley. Led by Icelandic pilot Armas Salsola, a team of Swiss-trained rescue experts executed the mission efficiently.

Each flight lasted about 90 minutes. One patient was taken to Manali, while the other was transported to Kangnidhar Helipad in Mandi for medical attention. Bhalla expressed gratitude for assisting local communities and reaffirmed the company’s commitment to emergency rescues in remote areas.
