Overview

Mount Kailash (6,638m) is considered the spiritual center of the universe. For pilgrims seeking a shorter yet profound passage, this helicopter yatra provides swift transitions from Kathmandu via Nepalgunj and the remote Himalayan airstrip of Simikot to Hilsa border town. This option minimizes long days on rugged roads, leaving your energy focused on the sacred Parikrama trek.

Our rider-led crew coordinates ground arrangements, oxygen kits, and local guides, ensuring your safety at extreme altitudes.
