Kailash Mansarovar Yatra by Helicopter

What could be more fascinating than visiting two of Tibet’s most iconic spiritual landmarks, Mount Kailash and Lake Mansarovar, by helicopter? Himalayan 360 offers an 11 days Kailash Mansarovar Yatra by Helicopter. Located in the Far Western region of Tibet, Mount Kailash rises 6,638M above sea level like a perfect diamond. Beside it lies the holy Mansarovar Lake, the largest freshwater lake in Tibet. Together, they are believed to be a sacred source of divine energy and inner peace. These sites hold deep religious significance across Hinduism, Buddhism, Jainism, and Bon communities. The 11-day Mount Kailash and Mansarovar tour by helicopter begins in Kathmandu. In Kathmandu, you will visit Pashupatinath Temple. Then from Kathmandu, you will take a flight to Nepalgunj, from there to Simikot, and then take Heli to Hilsa. From Hilsa, after completing border formalities, you will drive to Taklakot (Burang) and spend a day acclimatizing while exploring the area. The following day, you’ll travel from Taklakot to Mansarovar via Chiu Gompa, then proceed to Taraboche. Taraboche is the starting point of the sacred Kailash Kora (circumambulation). The first day of the Kora leads to Dirapuk. By the next 2 days, you will finish Kora. Thousands of pilgrims perform this sacred circumambulation each year to seek spiritual purification and blessings from Lord Shiva. This itinerary is ideal for travelers who want to do the Kailash Kora and visit Mansarovar Lake without trekking for many days. Every year, between May and September, we operate this tour package for you. We also provide the Kailash Mansarovar Yatra Tour without a helicopter. Note: Since helicopter costs change frequently, we don't post the price in this package.

The Everest Base Camp Trek with Helicopter Return is the perfect way to experience the adventure and comfort in Nepal’s most iconic Everest trekking region while saving time and energy.

The EBC Trek with Helicopter Return Route is more than just a shortcut and a luxury. It adds a new level of experience. From above the sky, you’ll see the Khumbu Glacier, mountain valleys, and the very trails you walked on. Flying over Mount Everest and nearby peaks gives you unforgettable aerial views that most trekkers don’t get. Not to mention, even with a shorter trek, you still get the full Everest experience. You will pass through Sagarmatha National Park, where you’ll spot wildlife and beautiful alpine landscapes. You’ll also visit lively Sherpa villages like Namche Bazaar and Tengboche, explore ancient monasteries, and enjoy warm local hospitality. In less time, you’ll stand at Everest Base Camp and take in the incredible Himalayas, ending your journey with a smooth and memorable helicopter flight home.
