Kailash Helicopter Tour

Take a flight to the holiest land on Earth for different religions i.e Hinduism,  Buddhism etc. Mansarovar yatra is the cheapest with Helicopter ride. 

The 14-day Kailash Mansarovar Yatra begins with the Rudrabhishek ,  Puja and Hawan at the sacred Pashupatinath Temple in Kathmandu, invoking blessings for a safe and successful pilgrimage. From Kathmandu, we embark on an exciting journey by air to Nepalgunj, Simikot, and eventually to Hilsa on the Chinese border via helicopter.

After completing immigration formalities at the Chinese border, we continue the journey by road, traversing picturesque landscapes to reach the sacred Kailash Himalayas. Along the way, we visit revered sites such as the Khojernath/Ramsita Temple, ancient Gompas, and Taklakot/Purang. This is the shortest and most efficient route to visit Mt. Kailash and Lake Mansarovar, perfect for those with limited time yet seeking a profound spiritual experience.

The helicopter tour is specially designed for pilgrims and travelers who wish to explore the serene beauty and deep spiritual significance of Kailash Mansarovar in a shorter time frame. It is an unparalleled opportunity to connect with the divine and experience the magnificence of the region. Devotees can immerse themselves in the spiritual essence of Lord Shiva, Buddha, and other revered deities.

The Kailash Sacred Walk – Parikrama:

A highlight of the yatra is the 52-km Kailash Kora or Parikrama, considered a sacred act of devotion. This circumambulation of Mt. Kailash, performed by thousands of pilgrims every year, is an intensely spiritual experience. The trek not only allows participants to connect with their inner selves but also unveils religious stories and legends at every step.

The Parikrama typically takes three days and passes through significant points such as the Darchen base camp, Dirapuk, Dolma La Pass, and Zutulpuk Monastery. It is a challenging yet rewarding journey, offering breathtaking views of the snow-clad peaks, serene landscapes, and the spiritual energy of the mountain. Pilgrims believe that completing the Parikrama brings immense blessings, cleansing of sins, and a deep connection to the divine.

Important Update: Kailash Charan Sparsh is Banned

As of now, the Kailash Charan Sparsh walk remains closed due to the ongoing ban from Chinese local authority. Pilgrims are still permitted to perform the traditional Kailash Kora (circumambulation) around Mt. Mount Kailash, which is considered equally meritorious. Alternative spiritual practices, are also encouraged to maintain the sanctity of the pilgrimage. And, offer you extra miles pilgrimage path to the Asthapada drive and walk. Asthapada is a part of Kailash Inner Kora where you can get up-close darshan of Kailash Parbat south face and Nandi Parbat.

You Should Know Before Travel Expand All Collapse All

Yes, You need a document/passport that is 6 months valid is required for the Kailash Mansarovar Helicopter yatra.

For the year 2025, The Kailash Helicopter Tour package begins as low as 4800 USD per group but the price may vary depending on the size of the group . The cost includes all the flights , vehicles cost , Visa cost , Entry permits and Hotel accommodation during the yatra.

All the flights including the Helicopter ride depend upon the weather condition. The Weather issue may cause delay in flight (Helicopter flight included) and may even cause flight to be canceled. So we recommend having a spare day in Kathmandu after an international flight.

We will be staying in a traditional Tibetan mud house at Mansarovar Lake. We can also call it a guest house and offer rooms with multiple beds and electricity. But the rooms are without hotel facilities. There is no toilet and bathroom attached to the room so you need to use a toilet that is made with mud walls.

Generally yes, the walk is included but it is dependent mostly on Chinese Tourism Authority’s permission. Since August 2024 they have not permitted to walk up to Kailash Charan due to security and safety reasons. Because the glacier is  melting fast and due to this reason the walk has become slippery and the same reason why stones fall from Kailash Parbat which is a big safety concern.

Yes, the travelers can rent Horses and Porters for their Kailash Parikrama Yatra which costs additional charges paid by the travelers directly to the porter or the Horseman which can be anywhere around 725 USD.
