Gosaikunda Sacred Lakes Helicopter Tour
The 1-Day Gosaikunda Sacred Lakes Helicopter Tour with Landing is an exclusive pilgrimage and scenic flight into the holy alpine heart of Langtang National Park. Located at 4,380 meters (14,370 ft), Gosaikunda is an oligotrophic freshwater lake revered by both Hindu and Buddhist devotees as the abode of Lord Shiva. Departing early morning from Tribhuvan International Airport in Kathmandu aboard a chartered Airbus H125 helicopter, you soar over the lush northern ridges of the Kathmandu valley and Langtang ranges. Touching down at the lakeside helipad, you will have 30 to 45 minutes on the ground to perform sacred puja rituals, take holy water blessings, admire surrounding glacial tarns like Bhairavkunda, and capture panoramic views of Langtang Lirung and Ganesh Himal before flying back to Kathmandu.
