Detailed Itinerary of Kailash Yatra by Helicopter
Our agent will meet you at the airport and take you to your accommodation. We will tour the Kathmandu Valley's world heritage sites. Also, we will visit the Pashupatinath, Gujeswari Shaktipith, and Jalnarayan Temple. We will gather in the evening for a quick meal to greet and brief you on the tour. Overnight in Kathmandu.
In the morning, we will prepare ourselves for the Yatra. Later on, we will fly to Nepalgunj via Tribhuvan International Airport. Overnight stay in Nepalgunj. Flight time is 55 minutes
The flight to Simikot takes around an hour in the morning. After that, we'll take a chartered helicopter to the neighboring town of Hilsa, where the Karnali River flows from the Tibetan Plateau into the alpine areas on its way to the Ganges. We will complete the immigration process and then drive to the village of Purang. Spend the night in Purang.

We will acclimatize in Purang. You can stroll around the market and take a walk in this beautiful village. Overnight in Purang
After breakfast, we will drive to one of the world's holiest and most beautiful lakes, Mansarovar, which sits at 4560 meters above sea level. Also, we will start our parikrama at 105km. We will stop at the Rakshas Tal to observe its calm beauty before continuing to Mansarovar. The lake is also known as the 'lake of the devil' and 'Ravana Tal,' as it is supposed to have been built by Ravana to gain superpowers via Lord Shiva's devotion and meditation. The lake has saline water, which the locals believe is harmful. We will next proceed to the 'sun'-shaped lake of Mansarovar. The lake is reported to overflow Lake Rakshas' salty water. While we prep the meal, you can drive around the Mansarovar Kora. The Kora is reported to be a pilgrimage path that circles a sacred temple, mountain, or lake. Spend the night at Mansarovar.
We'll go to Lake Manasarovar and do a pooja there. You can dive at Lake Sarovar. We travel a short distance to Darchen after lunch. Also, we will prepare for Kailash kora.

After breakfast, we will set off on our tour. W,e'll walk nonstop for perhaps six to seven hours (12km). You will only need to stroll behind the guides while taking in the area's natural beauty because the yak will carry all the supplies and equipment. Stay the night in a guest home in Diraphuk.
This is one of the most challenging days of the walk since hikers must cross the 5400-foot-high Dolma-La Pass. Trekkers should be prepared for all of that since the weather at Doma-la Pass is erratic, and snowstorms might happen at any time. Therefore, we'll aim to set out on our adventure as soon as we can.

It was an excellent and memorable trip arranged by creative adventure. We were 15 family members planned for pilgrimage trip but later combined adventures too for the sake of our kids. From the arrival and till departure, Ramesh Ji ‘s support was excellent. He was able to reach even at night for some emergencies. Excellent vehicles were provided and especially kind and experienced drivers were arranged. Because of the change in climatic conditions , our flight got cancelled and we were supposed to do road travel. We afraid a lot but the drivers were really experienced and helped us a lot in all aspects. Food arranged in hotels were really good. ( Only concern was they could have separated veg n non veg in different places n not on the same counters). Especially chef in landmark Kathmandu was so kind n prepared food specially for us. Cultural village in Janakpur also provided homely n decent food. We had a great n enjoyable trip all over. Thanks Ramesh Ji for arranging everything. We definitely recommend Creative adventure to everyone.
