Kathmandu to Muktinath Yatra by Helicopter is a popular pilgrimage tour in Nepal that takes visitors to the sacred Muktinath Temple, located in the Mustang district of Nepal. The temple is considered a sacred site for both Hindus and Buddhists, and is particularly popular during the Muktinath Temple festival, which takes place in August/September. The temple is also one of the four and most important temples of Lord Vishnu in the world.
The tour typically starts with an early morning flight from Kathmandu to Pokhara, then a helicopter ride to Muktinath. Visitors will have the opportunity to visit the temple, perform puja or other religious rituals, and enjoy the beautiful mountain scenery. The tour also includes the visit to the other sacred sites like Jwalamai Temple, Gomba Samba Temple, and the 108 water sprout where devotees take a bath for purification.
The tour usually takes about one day and can be arranged for one or more days depending on the itinerary and the number of people in the group. It’s important to check with the tour operator for more information about the tour and the prices.
As with all helicopter tours, it’s important to research the tour operator, check reviews from other customers and ensure that the tour operator is licensed and insured. Also, it’s important to note that, depending on the weather conditions, the tour may be cancelled or delayed.
The tour is also subject to the permission from the concerned authority, National Park and the Ministry of Culture, Tourism and Civil Aviation. So, it’s always a good idea to check with the tour operator for more information about the regulations and restrictions before booking your tour.
