and informative too, i never imagined spaces of country there not indated with snow and ice, thankyou for the journey, would be a great place to visit during the warmer months me thinks.
I fly a B2 at sea level to 6000' where it has lots of power.
How is the helicopter's performance in Nepal? It looks like everywhere you land is a prepared helipad - I am sure that helps.

We land the B to about 10-11,000'amsl DA wow 15,000. the B2 15-17,000 DA over 20,K & the B3 well up to 23,000'amsl rescue up to 24,500'amsl so far for 1 climber.

Decredenza about 50-60% of landing are at prepared Helipads which makes for easier/safer run-ons & running take-offs when required. But the rest are whatever works, anywhere, SWAT & dive in, some are one way in, same way out.
JB-319 legal requirement is to use O2 continuously from 12,000' but we are generally start using from about 10-11,000' up
