11 Nights / 12 Days • Kathmandu to Kathmandu
The Kailash Mansarovar Yatra by Helicopter is the most comfortable and time-efficient route to Mount Kailash and Lake Mansarovar. Designed for pilgrims seeking spiritual fulfilment with reduced physical strain, this journey combines domestic flights and scenic helicopter rides while preserving the sanctity of the yatra.
The pilgrimage begins in Kathmandu with sacred temple visits, followed by flights to Nepalgunj and Simikot. From Simikot, a helicopter ride takes pilgrims to Hilsa near the Tibet border, from where the journey continues to the holy Lake Mansarovar and Mount Kailash for Parikrama.
