One of the most well-known pilgrimages in the world, the Kailash Mansarovar yatra is one of the most physically demanding pilgrimages in Asia due to its high altitude of 19,500 feet and hostile terrain. The helicopter yatra from Lucknow is one of the quickest and most practical methods to get to Mount Kailash and Lake Mansarovar.

The best choice is usually a helicopter yatra to Kailash Mansarovar for elderly individuals and others who cannot travel long distances. This nine-day helicopter tour brings you to the Nepal-China border by flight, from which point you may take a short, pleasant drive to Kailash Mansarovar.

It takes just four hours to go from Lucknow to Nepalgunj from another international airport in India. Everyone can benefit from attending our Kailash Tour by Helicopter from Lucknow because of the set departure dates. Even on this little excursion, you won't miss anything crucial. The primary activities on this trip are Manasarovar Parikrama, Kailash Parikrama, and ritual labor in Manasarovar. You might look at the Kailash tour by Helicopter through Kathmandu package if you'd want to do this trip via Kathmandu. You can take a quick trip to Kailash through Lhasa if you have extra time and wish to explore Lhasa and Kailash simultaneously.

Those in good health should have no difficulty traveling to this region. Due to the high altitude of this area, travelers may experience the effect of altitude sickness, which is characterized by mild headaches, nausea, and loss of appetite. Water and juice can reduce altitude sickness by frequently drinking non-alcoholic liquids such as water and juice, 3 to 4 liters a day. Travelers are reminded to protect themselves from the intense sunlight, which can cause sunburn.

Detailed Itinerary of Kailash Yatra by Helicopter via Lucknow

  1. Pick you up at the airport. Our guide will accompany you to Nepalgunj. Driving over the border between India and Nepal just takes four hours. Check in, have dinner and stay the night.

  2. Take an early-morning flight from Nepaljung to Simikot. A consistent, brief flight from Nepaljung to Simikot takes place every morning. From Simikot, take a small aircraft to Hilsa, pass the Nepal-Tibet border, and then drive to Purang. The remainder of the day is spent relaxing to help the body adjust.

  3. Inner Kora of Mt. Kailash by Helicopter

    Today is a free day for acclimatization in Purang. In Purang, you should only rest and remain in your hotel. It could be fun for you to stroll through the surrounding markets. In Purang, there are several tiny local businesses, eateries, and stores where you may buy travel-related accessories like gloves, sticks, empty water bottles, hiking shoes, etc.

  4. Manasarovar is reachable quickly from Purang. S pend the entire day on the lake's edge. It is currently possible to take a bath in Manasarovar water and engage in spiritual activities there. Staying a long day here today will aid your body's process of acclimatization. The three-hour journey to Lake Mansarovar's 90 km parikrama includes, if feasible, a bus stop midway along the kora from which you may see the lake and Mount Kailash from a new perspective. After the parikrama, return to your accommodation and recover.

  5. Travel from Manasarovar through Darchen for around 47 kilometers to Yamadwor. Set off in Derapuk's direction. Helpers will be present with those who have reserved horses. It takes 4 to 5 hours to stroll comfortably. The beginning of the walk from this location is thought to be at Yam Dwar (Gate to Moksha). The final target for today is Dirapuk, which is 12 miles distant. The pilgrims need 4-6 hours to trek this distance. Today's walk has a few tiny ups and downs but is otherwise level.

  6. Kailash Mansarovar Yatra by Overland

    Early morning is a good time to begin the second day of the Kailash parikrama. The hardest day of the journey is today since we have to cross Dolma La's highest pass (5613m). After this momentous occasion, continue your difficult 22-kilometer hike to Zuthulpuk. The climb's highest and most difficult point, Dolma La pass, is reached about an hour after the walk from Dirapuk begins. The overall travel time to Juthulpuk is 8 to 9 hours.

  7. After breakfast, take a leisurely 3-hour stroll to Mani walls. From Darchen, take the same vehicle to Purang, which is also close to the Nepal-Tibet border. We will go 45 kilometers to the border between China and Nepal. After completing immigration procedures, walk across the border to the Hilsa, Nepal side.

  8. Kailash Yatra by Helicopter

  • Shyamala Narayanan (Shammu)Jun 02, 2024

    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.
