The Kailash Mansarovar Yatra by Helicopter is the quickest and most luxurious way for Indian passport holders to complete the sacred pilgrimage to Lord Shiva’s abode – Mount Kailash (6,638 m) and holy Lake Mansarovar (4,590 m) in just 11 days. Flying from Kathmandu via Nepalgunj–Simikot–Hilsa by helicopter, this route skips long overland drives, offers breathtaking aerial views of the Himalayas, and ensures minimum physical strain – only 3 days of trekking during the 52-km Outer Kora (pony/yak support available). Many departures are specially timed so that pilgrims reach Mansarovar exactly on Full Moon (Purnima) for the most auspicious holy bath and puja.

Experience divine bliss with pure vegetarian Indian meals prepared by an experienced chef (Jain food on request), best available guesthouses in Tibet, and complete medical safety – oxygen cylinders, Gamow bag, and trained medical staff accompany every group. The itinerary includes the thrilling crossing of Dolma La Pass (5,630 m), closest views of Kailash’s sacred North Face at Dirapuk, and first darshan from the sky. Complimentary down jacket, duffle bag, day pack, and walking stick make packing easy.
