Basic rendition of Kibithu helipad in Arunachal Pradesh, India. ICAO : IA57
Kibithu is a remote village in the eastern state of Arunachal Pradesh in India. Nestled among high mountains, it is one of the eastern most helipads of India. Kaho, known as the last village of India is in the neighbourhood. Just 15 km north of Kibithu is the Line of Actual Control between India and China and 40km to the west is the border with Myanmar. This strategic location combined with high mountains and unpredictable weather makes it a very tricky spot to fly into. However the scenic beauty and quintessential charm of the place is unparalleled. The Indian Army and Indian air force conducts routine flights to Kibithu for personnel and logistics movement as well as for population support. The nearest connection points (air) are Walong and Tezu. The Indian army recently conducted a paramotor expedition from Kibithu, so this helipad may be used for paramotor activity as well.

1. Kibithu helipad and adjacent facility
