Kailash Mansarovar Yatra by Helicopter

The Kailash Mansarovar by Helicopter offers Indian pilgrims a convenient and time-efficient way to experience one of the most spiritually significant journeys in the world. The helicopter service in this tour is provided to minimize travelling time and physical exhaustion of the lengthy drives, making it accessible for pilgrims of varying ages and fitness levels. It is an essential and thrilling part of this tour package, offering pilgrims a short yet breathtaking aerial view of the journey. 

Pilgrims drive from Lucknow to Nepalgunj, take a flight to Simikot, and board a helicopter to Hilsa, followed by a drive to Taklakot in Tibet. The helicopter ride of about 20 minutes from Simikot to Hilsa is a rare experience in this yatra. As the helicopter soars above the snowcapped peaks, cascading rivers, and deep valleys, pilgrims are treated to breathtaking views of nature's untouched beauty. The secure and pleasant ride allows them to focus on the mesmerising serenity of their surroundings. This unique aerial perspective is one of the major highlights of this sacred journey. 

What to expect from the yatra?

The journey begins with your arrival in Lucknow, followed by a drive to Nepalgunj. From there, a scenic flight will take you to Simikot and onwards to Hilsa by a breathtaking helicopter ride of about 20 minutes, from where you cross the Nepal-Tibet border, fulfilling the immigration formalities on both sides. The helicopter ride takes you high from where you can enjoy the amazing view of the mountains, valley, and rivers with the thrill of the ride. You can certainly expect a blend of luxury, comfort, adventure, and spirituality through this tour. 

The yatra is a profound experience allowing the pilgrims to feel the divinity of the holy abode of Lord Shiva, Mount Kailash, and the tranquility of Lake Mansarovar. One can engage themselves in the sacred ritual, like performing puja at the shore of Lake Mansarovar and the spiritual parikrama, which is believed to cleanse one's soul and set them free from their sins. The experience is unparalleled whether you simply gaze at the beauty of the lake, take a spiritual parikrama or reflect on the spiritual significance of the yatra, all in the presence of nature's majesty.

Starting from Yamadwar, the 52 KM parikrama of about 3 days presents you with altitude as high as 5600 m, unpredictable weather conditions, and difficult terrains. Throughout the journey, you will witness the awe-inspiring natural beauty of Tibet and deepen your spiritual connection with the divine, all while receiving professional support from our side. Along the way, you will also encounter attractions like Gauri Kunda, Nandi Parbat, and some caves as well. As you complete the yatra, navigating the challenge presented, it not only leaves you with long-lasting memories but also lets you grow mentally and physically strong. Most importantly, one must keep in mind that this tour is highly influenced by the weather conditions, which directly affect the flights and helicopter ride on this tour.

This package stands out for its luxury, efficiency, and convenience, perfect for Indian travelers who have limited time but still wish to experience the spiritual grandeur of this revered pilgrimage. From the lowland of Nepalgunj to the high-altitude region of Tibet, our Kailash Mansarovar Yatra by Helicopter from Lucknow for Indians provides one with the perfect combination of culture, adventure, and spirituality with our comfortable services. Sounds convincing? Let us be your companion on this once-in-a-lifetime spiritual experience
