Hi, we did the glacier heli hike which is different from the valley walk. For the glacier heli hike I would recommend doing it with a guide since the conditions change drastically.

Thanks! Ya I well understand it can be cancelled as the weather is really unpredictable there so I want to know if they would try to defer the Heli Hike to afternoon and if yes what would be the latest time slot becoz I plan to arrange other activities in late afternoon and need to know if the two activities would clash. Of coz my top priority goes to Heli Hike XD
