During the Uttarakhand Floods tragedy in 2013, Himalayan Heli was awarded the 'Captain Willian J. Kossler' Award by the American Helicopter Society-AHS International, for our efforts in conducting disaster management (search and rescue) operations during that catastrophe. Being the first helicopter operator to start search and rescue operations in the Kedarnath Valley, and working under tremendous pressure in a disaster so severe, we really understood the unpredictability and the technical challenges such operations pose.
We have also conducted Search and Rescue operations in the Himalayan regions of Ladakh, Himachal Pradesh and Uttarakhand for numerous stranded, injured and sick mountain travellers.
