Overview

The 12-day Kailash Manasarovar Yatra Helicopter tour is likely the longest Heli tour package offered by Blue Mountain Travels & Tours Pvt. One can discover the true natural splendor of Tibet and Nepal throughout this visit. Swayambhunath Stupa (Monkey Temple), Pashupatinath, Guhyeshwari Temple, Budhanilkantha (Bishnu Sleeping Temple), Mt. Kailash, and Lake Mansarovar are also destinations on the pilgrimage.

The Kailash Mansarovar yatra is specifically created for devoted pilgrims who are eager to traverse the difficult route via the mountains of Nepal and Tibet to arrive at the most sacred destination and see Lord Shiva's abode. Mt. Kailash, the holiest mountain in Hinduism and Buddhism, is the tallest peak in the Kailas range of the Himalayas, rising to a height of 6740 meters. The mountain is believed to be the ultimate residence of the Hindu deity of Destruction Lord Shiva and his wife goddess Gauri.

You'll perform puja and take a dip in the Mansarovar lake. Many people believe that going to Mansarovar and bathing in the Lake will atone for all of their sins and lead them to a state of salvation. Many pilgrims have traveled to the Kailash Mansarovar since ancient times. The journey used to be difficult, but it is now lot easier because of modern transportation and travel agencies including Blue Mountain Travels & Tours Pvt Ltd.
