Overview of the Tour

The Muktinath Helicopter Tour is a beautiful and spiritual aerial excursion to one of Nepal's most revered pilgrimage sites. Both Hindus and Buddhists consider Muktinath, which is 3,800 meters above sea level in the Mustang region, to be sacred. For people who want to easily visit the temple without having to deal with the difficulties of a protracted hike or jeep ride, this tour is perfect.
After landing close to the Muktinath temple and taking in the expansive Himalayan vistas, you will have ample time for exploration, ritual bathing, and darshan (temple visit) before returning by plane.
