Muktinath Helicopter Tour In Nutshell
The Muktinath Helicopter tour is designed for those who are cramped on time but still want to enjoy the most of a spectacular holiday open to the ardent adventurer & also the holy pilgrim seeking to make peace with the gods.
The Muktinath Helicopter Tour is an outstanding trip of spiritual significance. Muktinath is based in the northwest part of Nepal, beyond the Annapurna Himalayas. The visit by chopper takes pilgrims to one of the holiest Hindu pilgrimage destinations in the world, & is billed as an iconic divine journey of utmost importance before passing from this world for Hindus. The air tour by helicopter takes off from both Kathmandu (about 3 hours round trip) and Pokhara (about 2 hours round trip), allowing you about an hour for worshipping and taking a holy bath at the temple. The trip in the sky initially takes you above some spectacular landscapes of the Annapurna region and ultimately flies above the Kaligandaki River valley in the famous Mustang region. There's a stopover at Jomsom for refueling (if you are flying from Kathmandu), and flies to Muktinath, a blessed town, in the footsteps of the Thorong-La Pass of Annapurna.
While going through your rituals at the Muktinath, the mountainous environment gives you a tranquil holy experience ideal for a pilgrimage trip, said to wash away the sins of a lifetime, according to mythological beliefs. The helicopter tour begins early in the morning as the Kaligandaki River valley remains extremely windy during noontime. This air tour by helicopter is very safe and helpful because it avoids all the risky road drives & landslides that occasionally occur in this area. The sky tour is considered highly beneficial & safe for family groups with children and senior citizens.
Flying above the district center of Mustang - Jomsom, the Muktinath Helicopter tours offer some of the hidden views around Kagbeni and some parts of Upper Mustang before the helicopter lands at Muktinath. It's a brief hike up to the temple, where you can get a pony ride to ease the heights in the thin-air region. Muktinath means salvation, and people worship Lord Visnu. The 19th-century Hindu shrine is one of the eight most visited Hindu pilgrimage sites on earth. Taking a holy bath under the 108 water sprouts and dipping in the holy ponds brings salvation to devotees. Amid the holy surroundings, even the Buddhist sites attract the attention of pilgrims.
