Operating Since

The Ultimate Himalayan Experience

Kashmir Heliski has been operating heliskiing in the Pir Panjal Range since 2011, making it the pioneer of helicopter skiing in Kashmir. With an exclusive permit from the J&K Government covering 22,000 sq km of pristine Himalayan terrain, they offer access to the world's highest skiable mountains.

Runs typically start at 4,300 metres and descend 1,000-2,000 vertical metres through untouched powder. The unique "curry powder" — exceptionally dry snow due to the high altitude and 35° latitude — combined with open alpine bowls and perfectly spaced pine forests creates arguably the finest powder skiing experience on Earth.
