🇳🇵Helicopter incidents in Nepal

This database records 37 helicopter incidents in Nepal, the earliest in 2010 and the most recent in 2026. 4 have been recorded so far in 2026. The worst single year was 2015, with 5 incidents.

57 deaths across 15 fatal accidents, which is 41% of all incidents recorded here. Every other accident in Nepal was survived by everyone on board. The deadliest was on 2015-05-12 at Kalinchok, which killed 13.

The most frequently recorded type is the Airbus Helicopters H125 with 8 incidents, followed by the Eurocopter AS350B2 with 8. That reflects how many of each type fly in Nepal rather than how safe they are.

Where a cause has been established, the most common is pilot error, in 11 accidents, then mechanical failure in 5. Many records carry no established cause, either because the investigation is open or because none was published.
