There are various reasons why trekkers might need helicopter rescue services on the Himalayan trails. High-altitude trekking brings in a lot of risks for the trekkers. Many trekkers suffer health issues caused by the weather and altitude of the Khumbu region.
Altitude sickness is a major risk while doing treks in the Everest region. You can prevent most altitude-related illnesses by exercising caution, it is sometimes inevitable. Occurrences of minute altitude sickness like AMS can be treated on your own. But severe cases of HAPE and HACE need immediate medical supervision. The remote trails of Everest might not have such services. You need to be taken to a place with proper medical services. Transportation by road is not possible in such remote trails. Hence, immediate helicopter rescue is the best possible option to get help.
Weather-related mishaps also might be life-threatening on Everest trekking trails. Extreme, unprecedented storms and snowfall occur in the Everest region. Avalanches could occur without much warning. Such incidents might leave you stranded, block your routes, cause accidents, or even trigger health issues. In most of these cases, you will have no choice but to find help through the airway. There is no way you can solve these problems on your own. Even expert guides might be unable to help you with some of these issues.
