TRIP OVERVIEW

If you don't have enough time to attend the Langtang Gosaikunda Trek but want to see the breathtaking beauty of the Langtang Gosaikunda region, the Gosaikunda Helicopter Tour is an option. The Lang Tang Himalayan mountains, lush green hills, lakes, glaciers, and distant settlements are all visible from the Heli trip. The flight will take off from Kathmandu and will last 40 minutes. Pilgrims believe that bathing in the holy river of Gosaikunda purifies them and protects them from danger for the rest of their lives. The soul goes to heaven after death, which is why pilgrimages to Gosaikunda are so popular these days. Gosaikunda is situated at an elevation of 4380m which is a freshwater lake situated in a Langtang National Park. 

The lake is surrounded by beautiful snow-capped mountains and every year thousands of tourists and pilgrims visit Gosaikunda lake to pray and for enjoying the best view of the Langtang ranges. When it comes to the tales regarding this lake, it is intimately linked to the Ramayana and Mahabharata. The Samundra Manthan, as well as the dwelling of God Shiva and Parvati, is described in these two sacred texts as Gosaikunda Lake. In addition, Bhairab Kunda, Saraswati Kunda, Ganesh Kunda, and other holy lakes surround this lake.

The tour will be around an hour-long, you will be briefed on all precautions and safety procedures before the start of the flight. In Kathmandu Hely pad, the captain will introduce himself and provide other basic information. You will fly to the Gosaikunda Langtang region after the briefing. You arrive in around 20 to 22 minutes and land near the lake. Snow-capped summits like as Yubra (6,264 m), Dagpache (6,567 m), Dorje Lakpa (6,966 m), Gangchempo (6,387 m), Langtang Lirung (7,234 m), Ganesh Himal (7,422 m), Gaurishankar (7,134 m), Langshisha Ri (6,427 m), and others can be seen from here.

Explore the lake for half an hour. The sights and peacefulness will captivate you as you approach the lake. Your soul will be revived by the lack of crowds and fresh air.
