You will travel in comfort by car through the city’s early morning quiet streets to the domestic terminal of Tribhuvan International Airport. Early departures are crucial because the weather is generally clear in the morning, giving the best flying conditions and the finest mountain scenery. Our staff will be there to assist with check-in, ensuring a smooth and stress-free start to your journey. As you drive to the airport, the excitement starts building. Not only are you avoiding 5–7 days of trekking, but you’re going to get to see some of the most scenic landscapes of Nepal in hours. 7:00 AM – Check-In and Pre-Flight Briefing: Upon arrival at the airport, our ground crew and pilot who will fly you to Gosaikunda will receive you. Before departure, we provide a pre-flight brief that walks you through significant information like onboard safety, altitude acclimatization, and flying protocols. This is done to ease your mind so that you can sit comfortably, relax, and enjoy the ride. Our team also shares a quick overview of what you’ll see during your helicopter ride to Gosaikunda Lake. From the green hills surrounding Kathmandu to the majestic Ganesh Himal and Langtang ranges, you’ll already have a mental picture of the journey ahead. 7:30 AM – Helicopter Flight from Kathmandu to Gosaikunda: The real showstopper is when we board the helicopter and take off from Kathmandu Valley. In no time, within a few minutes, the city turns into an endless expanse of terraced fields, forested hills, and winding rivers. The helicopter keeps ascending, and before we know it, we are flying over alpine ridges, deep gorges, and snow-covered summits. The 20–25-minute flight gives us a rare bird’s-eye view of the Himalayas, including Langtang Lirung, Ganesh Himal, Dorje Lakpa, and even distant glimpses of Manaslu on clear days. Wherever you look, there are breathtaking views to be seen, and the closer we get to Langtang National Park, the more dramatic the scenery. For most travelers, the bird’s-eye view is the most thrilling experience of the Gosaikunda helicopter tour.

The lake is of great religious significance in Hinduism as it is believed to have been created by Lord Shiva and is also revered as holy by Buddhists. You’ll spend approximately 15–20 minutes here, which you can spend walking around the lake’s rim, visiting the small temples surrounding it, and taking in fresh mountain air. This short break provides you with an opportunity to truly connect with the spiritual and natural beauty of the Himalayas. Due to altitude, we do not spend long on the ground to minimize the risk of altitude sickness, but whatever time we do spend here is powerful and unforgettable. 8:15 AM – Helicopter Back Flight to Kathmandu: We head back to the helicopter after being part of the grandeur of Gosaikunda. The return ride is an eye- opener with the morning sun giving a different perspective and mountains reflecting diverse hues. The flight down offers you the sight of rolling valleys, glacial rivers, and green forests. This portion of the trip is perfect for relaxing and looking back on the experience. The vast majority of travelers describe the return flight as just as engaging, as it provides them with the possibility to capture photographs and memories that they might have missed on the way up. 8:45 AM – Arrival at Kathmandu and Hotel Transfer: We’re back at Tribhuvan International Airport. There, you will be chauffeured back to Kathmandu’s hotel in comfort. Travel duration could be a few hours, but memories last forever. The contrast of leaving the peaceful high-altitude lake and returning to the city in such a short distance is an experience in itself.
