A short but spiritually enlightening trip, the Gosainkunda Lake Helicopter Tour offers a unique fusion of aerial adventure, cultural significance, and natural beauty. Believed to have been created by Lord Shiva himself, Gosainkunda Lake is a sacred pilgrimage site for both Hindus and Buddhists, located at an elevation of 4,380 meters in the centre of Langtang National Park.

This one-hour helicopter ride from Kathmandu transports you straight into the peace and quiet of the Himalayas, far from the bustle of the city. The scenery quickly changes as you fly northward, moving from terraced hills to deep river valleys, dense pine forests, and then the striking, snow-capped peaks of the Langtang and Ganesh Himal ranges.When the helicopter lands close to the immaculate lake in Gosainkunda, you will have 30 to 45 minutes to explore. You can take pictures here, do a holy bath or puja, and take in the splendour of the more than 108 glacial lakes that encircle the region. Even Langtang Lirung, Manaslu, and portions of Shishapangma in Tibet are visible in clear weather.

This tour is ideal for:

Spiritual seekers who wish to spend a few days at the sacred location without trekking

Travellers who are elderly or have limited mobility

Mountain enthusiasts and photographers seeking a distinctive aerial viewpoint
