CARSTENSZ PYRAMID EXPEDITION WITH HELICOPTER
Carstensz Pyramid Expedition by Helicopter in and out is a fast trip but very expensive.
We have been organizing expeditions by helicopter since 2008 until now.
Using a helicopter is very helpful for all climbers, 100% of expeditions are successful.
Helicopters are available in Timika and fly to the yellow valley base camp 4,300m (under the Carstensz wall)
The helicopter expedition is very short but high risk.
(flying from Timika – + 50m.asl and lending basecamp 4,300m.asl).
Our advice; it is better to be physically fit and have experience climbing above 4,000m.asl.
The type of helicopter to be used is B-3 with a cargo capacity of 350 kg (including passengers and luggage), maximum passengers are 3 people.
By helicopter it only takes 40 minutes to fly from Timika to the yellow valley base camp 4,300m above sea level.
