Trip Overview

Embarking on a Sacred Journey

Welcome to the Kailash Heli-tour, a celestial odyssey to the revered Mt. Kailash. Before we ascend to the skies, let’s delve into the extraordinary landscapes of Nepal’s western regions. This sets the stage for a spiritual pilgrimage filled with awe-inspiring moments.

Preparations in Kathmandu

Upon landing in Kathmandu, take a day to rejuvenate and gear up for the journey. The following day, our flight departs for Nepalgunj, a town nestled in the western Terai plains. This paves the way for an adventure like no other, a journey into the heart of spirituality.

A Religious Sojourn in the Mid-Hills

Embark on a religious tour around the mid-hills of Mt. Kailash, guided by the expertise of Leaf Holiday treks. This Heli-tour promises not just scenic vistas but also a profound connection with divinity, leading you to blissful happiness and spiritual enlightenment.

Skies and Pilgrimage Roads

As we traverse the skies, we follow ancient pilgrimage roads and trade links. This journey culminates in the divine Mt. Kailash in Tibet, combining the thrill of a Heli-tour with the cultural and religious significance of circumambulating Mt. Kailash and exploring Manasarovar Lake.

A Luxurious Venture for All

Tailored for the physically challenged and senior citizens, this Heli tour ensures access to the sacred site of Lord Shiva without the challenges of strenuous trails. A luxury air tour commencing from Kathmandu unfolds, offering awe-inspiring views over highlands and a private helicopter flight to Hilsa.

Spiritual Challenges and Divine Encounters

Guided by a professional crew, the overland cruise to Mount Kailash and Lake Manasarovar is gentle and scenic. The spiritually challenging Parikrama trek around Mt. Kailash adds a profound layer to the journey, allowing for a deep connection with the divine.

Collecting Blessings and Holy Water

Completing the Koras, we embark on an overland journey to collect holy water from Manasarovar Lake before heading back to Taklakot. The return journey unfolds, culminating in a helicopter ride back to Kathmandu via Nepalgunj.
