If you are undertaking a trip in a remote area and would like to be covered for helicopter evacuation, please note that the helicopter charges are US$1500/- to US$2000/- per hour from hangar to hangar, and in Ladakh the Indian Air Force send 2 choppers for one rescue - for safety reasons. This would mean a minimum amount of US$20,000/- in India and US$50,000/- when travelling in Bhutan.
