Overview

The Gosaikunda Helicopter Tour is one of Nepal's shortest yet most interesting religious excursions. An hour and a half is roughly how long the entire tour lasts, including the flight time. Thousands of tourists choose Gosaikunda each year over a number of other travel sites in Nepal. This is mostly due to the Gosaikunda Lake's religious significance and the breathtaking mountain ranges that surround it. If you enjoy thrilling, daring flights that take you to gorgeous settings surrounded by gigantic snow-capped Himalayas, the Gosaikunda Helicopter Tour is a no-brainer for you.

Gosaikunda Lake, also known as "Gosainkunda," has been identified as a sacred location in Nepal that is highly revered by both Hindus and Buddhists. Gosaikunda Lake is an alpine freshwater lake that is situated in Rasuwa region of Langtang National Park at an elevation of 4,380m (14,370 ft). The lake's surface, which covers around 34 acres, is mostly frozen from October through June during the winter season. Winter does, however, have certain advantages. If you visit Gosaikunda Lake in the winter, the snow-covered landscape will give you lovely memories. The Gosaikunda Lake has something special to offer in every season, regardless of the season.

Beginning at the domestic terminal of Tribhuvan International Airport in Kathmandu, the Gosaikunda Helicopter Tour takes off. It takes an hour to go from Kathmandu to Gosaikunda in both directions. Following a brief introduction of our captains and some advice on the necessary safety precautions, the aircraft takes off. Additionally, they'll provide you advice on how to handle a crisis. Because we never compromise on safety, Blue Mountain Travels and Tours Pvt Ltd has a reputation for operating safe helicopter flights. Therefore, before we even start the trip, we make sure that all of the safety standards have been met.

Following the briefing, the helicopter departs, leaving the runway in its wake, and moves toward the north. Within a few minutes of takeoff, we enter Langtang National Park as we soar over Kathmandu's crowded city. After circling above the sporadic Tamang villages and flying next to the enormous, lush green hills, we will arrive at Gosaikunda Lake in about 15 to 20 minutes.

At 4,380 meters above sea level, at Gosaikunda, we will land safely to the backdrop of the enormous Langtang mountain range. Spending more than 30 minutes could lead to altitude sickness because we would have gone to 4,000+m in under half an hour. It is extremely unlikely, though. We therefore begin exploring the area to make the most of our brief window of opportunity. The Gosaikunda Lake appears surreal in person and emits a calming vibe that is conducive to letting go of everything and simply being in the moment. The massive mountains of the Langtang range will be all around you. At Gosaikunda, the weather can quickly change from being sunny to being snowy. The air is normally very thin and the surroundings are very cold. The journey concludes after breakfast at the renowned Gosaikunda tea house as we take out for the airport in Kathmandu.
