However, Twin Otter and Dornier aircraft need minimum visibility of 5,000 meters.

What about the Helicopter cost? Is it getting instant or need to be in the queue?

A helicopter charges US $ 2500 per flight to Lukla from Kathmandu. And the US $ 500 per person on a sharing basis. Except for the emergency, during the high season and extreme weather of Lukla, you may not get a helicopter instantly or need to be in the queue.
