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 Kailash Mansarovar Yatra is a sacred journey to Mount Kailash and the sacred Lake Mansarovar located in Tibet, China.It is one of Asia’s holiest pilgrimages to Tibet, the Chinese autonomous region. It is a rare journey where pilgrimage, high‑altitude trekking, and Himalayan landscapes come together in one powerful experience.
Mount Kailash (6,638M) is considered the abode of Lord Shiva and the spiritual center of the universe. Likewise, holy Lake Mansarovar is believed to have been created by Lord Brahma and symbolizes purity and divine creation. For Hindus, Buddhists, Jains, and Bon followers, traveling here is a deliberate step toward moksha, self-purification, and profound spiritual rejuvenation.
The Mount Kailash and Lake Mansarovar tour starts in Kathmandu and follows a path that crosses the Nepal-Tibet border at Kyirong (also called Gyirong). Later, the drive to Kailash and Mansarovar Lake continues by road over the vast Tibetan plateau to Lake Mansarovar and the base town of Darchen. The development of black top and asphalt roads and improved infrastructure has made this formerly remote area accessible these days. This means what used to be an extremely severe approach is now a manageable overland pilgrimage, which is generally done in about 15 days.
Along the Kailash Mansarovar route, you will see high passes, wide grassy plains, snow-capped Himalayan ranges, and quiet Tibetan villages. You will also get time to acclimatize before the start of the 52KM Kailash Parikrama (Kora) around the mountain. The Kora takes 3 days and involves the climb of Dolma La Pass (5,630M). Crossing it is quite tough, and a good physical condition is necessary. The top of the pass gives you the sight of deep valleys, sacred Rakshas Tal, as well as monasteries that have stood as spiritual sites for centuries.
Likewise, every element of the Kailash yatra carries meaning. Devotees take a dip or sprinkle water from Lake Mansarovar on themselves in order to cleanse their past deeds. They perform the Kailash Kora to get rid of old karma, and spend quiet time in monasteries and meditation caves associated with saints like Milarepa. Many people report feeling a strong sense of connection with those they walked alongside, as they shared prayers, stories, and rituals, even though they spoke different languages and had different traditions.
