This finely curated, short-duration itinerary is ideal for devotees pressed for time but determined to witness the divine aura of Mount Kailash and Lake Mansarovar. If you want a compact, spiritually fulfilling journey, this is your perfect pick.
Best Time to Travel: May to mid-October, when weather windows open for trekking, sightseeing, and smooth helicopter operations.
Across six days, you’ll cover the key highlights: the shimmering waters of Mansarovar, mythic Gaurikund, the imposing Nandi Parvat, the mystical Saptarishi Caves, and the revered Pashupatinath Temple.
Getting There: Fly or take a train to Lucknow, then continue to Kathmandu or Nepalgunj. Nepalgunj sits just about 170 km (3–4 hours by road) from Lucknow, making it a convenient gateway for helicopter departures toward Simikot–Hilsa and onwards to Tibet.
During the parikrama of holy Mount Kailash. A once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, you’ll pass Shiva Sthal, a profoundly sacred spot for Tibetans. Remember, this isn’t an ordinary destination; it’s Kailash, the abode of Lord Shiva. Approach it with devotion, preparation, and a heart ready for transformation.

Kailash Mansarovar Yatra by Helicopter Cost
Kailash Mansarovar Yatra by Helicopter lets you touch the heart of the Himalayas without enduring marathon road drives and exhausting treks. Instead of spending two to three weeks on rugged terrain, you can complete the core darshan and rituals in roughly six to ten days (package variants differ), giving working professionals, older people, and time-crunched devotees a realistic way to answer Lord Shiva’s call. The helicopter hops typically between Simikot and Hilsa on the Nepal side slash transit time, while still preserving the profound moments: the first glimpse of Mount Kailash, the holy dip in Lake Mansarovar, and the hush that falls when prayers meet icy winds.
Comfort is built into the plan. Reputable operators schedule acclimatisation halts, carry group oxygen cylinders, and provide experienced Sherpa/Tibetan guides who understand high-altitude nuances. Vegetarian meals (often Jain-friendly), hot soups, and warm beverages keep you energised. If you’re fit and keen, you can attempt the three-day Parikrama around Kailash with pony/porter support; if not, you can stay back at Darchen and still enjoy close-up darshan of the sacred peak. Permits, Tibet visas, transfers, and basic lodging are bundled in—leaving you to focus on devotion, not documentation.
Why Choose the Kailash Mansarovar Yatra by Helicopter?
First, it saves time, perfect for those who can’t take long leaves but refuse to compromise on spirituality. Second, it reduces physical strain. Even though altitude remains a challenge (you still reach 4,500–5,600 meters), you’ll avoid endless road hairpins and bone-jarring rides. Third, it adds predictability to an inherently unpredictable journey. Weather can still delay flights, but you’re not stuck on a landslide-prone road for days. Finally, it opens the Yatra to a wider age group. Older people, people with knee issues, or pilgrims recovering from ailments can participate with medical clearance and careful pacing.
Plan smart. The best season stretches from May to mid-October, when Tibet opens for pilgrims and weather windows are friendliest. Book at least three to four months ahead; permits and chopper slots are limited. Pack light but wisely: layered thermals, a down jacket, good trekking shoes, SPF 50+ sunscreen, lip balm, prescribed medicines, and quick-dry towels. Travel insurance with high-altitude evacuation coverage is essential; nature writes the final schedule in these mountains.
Expect to hear names like Simikot, Hilsa, Taklakot (Burang), Darchen, Dirapuk, and Dolma La Pass during briefings, each a milestone on the route. Sacred spots such as Gauri Kund and Shiva Sthal remind you that mythology here isn’t just read. And at the shimmering shores of Mansarovar, when you take that dip or sit in still meditation, the helicopter blades feel a world away. What remains is silence, sky, and the unmistakable presence of the divine.
Choose the helicopter package if you want every minute to count spiritually, safely, and comfortably. Let your prayers rise with the rotor’s hum and descend as blessings on the shores of Mansarovar.

This can take a couple of days or more depending on an individual. For this reason alone, we have made it mandatory to stay 2 nights at Kerung before moving on to the higher altitudes. Be calm, and do not exercise. Do not drink alcohol or smoke prior to and during the tour. We also recommend you carry a strip of Diamox tablets. Do consult your physician on the dosage. We provide a Gamow bag (a special equipment to prevent sickness from high altitude) on this tour.
