Meet the One and Only Female Helicopter Pilot in Nepal

Whenever we go on a rescue flight, we will take some cargo from there. When we arrive, we drop the cargo off and bring the rescued person back with us. We work really long hours. Most times in the United States, pilots fly six days on and six days off, but in Nepal, we fly six days on and one day off. Today is my "off" day. There’s just a shortage of pilots here, so the hours are crazy. I would never leave Nepal, though.

Is there anything else you would like to say to students in the United States?:

I have not been to the United States, so I have no idea what the students there are like. They should come to Nepal, though. It’s a beautiful place, and this food tastes really good.
