Trip Overview

Take the Gosaikunda Helicopter Tour that Heli on Call Pvt. Ltd. is offering to embark on an extraordinary adventure. This captivating tour offers the unique opportunity to experience one of Nepal's most sacred Himalayan pilgrimage sites, the Gosaikunda Lake, from the comfort and convenience of a helicopter.

Gosaikunda Lake, situated at an altitude of approximately 4,380 meters above sea level, is a high-altitude freshwater oligotrophic lake nestled in Nepal's Langtang National Park. Known for its dazzling beauty and spiritual significance, Gosaikunda is a significant site of interest on the Dhunche-Helambu trekking route. When Lord Shiva used his Trishul (trident) to pierce a mountain in order to draw water to cool his burning throat after ingesting poison, it is believed that he created this glacial lake.

The Gosaikunda Helicopter Tour departs from Kathmandu, offering a comfortable, quick, and thrilling journey to this revered site. Instead of trekking for days, the helicopter ride allows you to reach the sacred lake within a short span of time, making it perfect for those with time constraints or physical limitations. Soak in the breathtaking aerial views of lush valleys, verdant forests, cascading waterfalls, and towering, snow-capped mountains, culminating in the mesmerizing sight of the emerald-green Gosaikunda Lake itself.

This tour is not only for the religiously inclined but also for travelers seeking unparalleled mountain vistas, serene natural beauty, and a glimpse into the rich culture and tradition of Nepal.
