The Damodar Kunda Helicopter Tour provides a unique and revered experience to the sacred lakes of Damodar Kunda, which are situated close to the Tibetan border in Nepal's isolated Upper Mustang region. These high-altitude lakes (about 4,890 meters) are revered by both Buddhists and Hindus, who believe they can satisfy spiritual desires and atone for sins.

This exclusive helicopter tour offers stunning views of Mustang's arid beauty, the Kali Gandaki Gorge, and the Annapurna and Dhaulagiri ranges. In a single day, you will land close to the lakes, have time for prayer, meditation, or exploration, and then take off again.

Ideal for pilgrims, spiritual seekers, and adventure travelers looking for a once-in-a-lifetime Himalayan experience without days of trekking.
