Heldinnen der Lüfte
Mit dem Helikopter im Himalaya
Nepal ist für viele ein Sehnsuchtsort. Doch der Himalaya-Staat gehört zu den ärmsten Ländern der Welt und Frauen sind immer noch stark benachteiligt. Priya Adhikari hat dennoch ihren Traum verwirklicht: Die 38-Jährige ist die einzige Frau in Nepal, die sich mit ihrem Helikopter in die gefährlichen Höhenlagen des Himalayas wagt.
Priya Adhikari fliegt regelmäßig für eine kleine Fluggesellschaft in den Himalaya - das höchste Gebirge der Welt. Die 38-jährige ist die einzige Frau in Nepal, die sich mit ihrem Helikopter in die gefährlichen Höhenlagen des Himalayas wagt. Nicht selten sind es Rettungseinsätze, um verunglückte Bergsteiger in Sicherheit zu bringen. Fliegen in Nepal ist gefährlich, in den Bergen kann das Wetter schnell kippen. Dennoch liebt Priya ihren Job. Ausgerechnet an Dashain, dem wichtigen nepalesischen Fest der Zusammengehörigkeit, hat die Pilotin einen Noteinsatz. Ihre Familie ist extra nach Kathmandu gekommen. Gemeinsam werden Momos, die traditionellen Teigtaschen, vorbereitet. Priya fehlt jedoch noch, wird sie es rechtzeitig zum Fest schaffen?

Literally flying on the top of the world, Priya Adhikari is the only female rescue pilot in Nepal.
She risks her life every day to save numerous trekking enthusiasts who get stuck trying to conquer the treacherous Mount Everest. And she carries out the rescue missions all by herself.
At times, Priya's job requires her to retrieve dead bodies from the snow-capped Himalayan mountains. She once removed a frozen body of a Sherpa who died in 2006. Also, she discovered and carried the body of famous Australian climber Maria Strydom, who succumbed to the gruelling conditions in 2016.
During one of her many rescue missions, Priya saved the life of a 16-year-old Australian girl whose health had started to deteriorate. She flew 4,000 metres above sea level, loaded the teenager into her chopper and even gave up her own supply of oxygen to save the child.
She recently set a personal record when she flew her helicopter at 6,200 metres to rescue a climber from Mount Kanchenjunga.
The trajectory of Priya's professional life is as inspiring as it gets. Believe it or not, this tough rescue pilot was once a contestant in the Miss Nepal beauty pageant. Soon after, she started working as an airline cabin attendant and then one day, she went for a joyride in a helicopter that changed her life forever.
Recalling that ride, she says, "The moment I was inside and the helicopter took off I was like, 'hell yeah! Can I be a pilot?"
