Trip Overview

Kailash Mansarovar Yatra, one of the most holy pilgrimages in the world, attracts thousands of devoted followers every passing year. An average of 14 days is involved in completing an overland journey from Kathmandu to Kailash, but it can be cut down to 11 days by opting for the helicopter route instead. Kailash Mansarovar Yatra by helicopter from Lucknow further reduces the time to 10 days for Indian pilgrims, providing the fastest and most convenient option with minimal stopovers from Lucknow to Kailash.

The unique Lucknow route will provide one of the very fastest ways for Indian devotees to embrace the stunning scenery of Mount Kailash and the tranquil divinity of Lake Mansarovar. It begins with a flight from Nepalgunj to Simikot, and then from Simikot a comfortable helicopter ride takes place to Hilsa, therefore greatly reducing travel time and physical strain. Ideal for people with little time in hand or preferring a more comfortable journey of spirituality, the entire travel package integrates modern convenience with spiritual fulfillment. It allows for real immersion in the sacred experience without suffering the rigorous overland journey just before the Kora (circumambulation) of Mount Kailash.

Why choose the Kailash Yatra by Helicopter?

Kailash Mansarovar by helicopter from Lucknow is one of the easiest and fastest pilgrimage routes available to Indian pilgrim citizens for one of the most symbolically important journeys of the world. Helicopter service in this tour minimizes travelling duration and physically lessens fatigue, making the pilgrimage accessible for a wide spectrum of ages and fitness levels. It is an essential thrill in the tour package since it gives pilgrims short yet breathtaking aerial views of this pilgrimage journey.

Pilgrims travel by road from Lucknow to Nepalgunj, catch a flight to Simikot, and board a helicopter at Hilsa to drive on to Taklakot in Tibet. The helicopter ride of about 20 minutes from Simikot to Hilsa is among the rarest experiences in this yatra. As the helicopter soars over snow-capped peaks cascading with rivers and plunging into valleys, pilgrims revel in breathtaking views of nature's untouched beauty. The comfortable, secured flight gives one the chance to dwell on the tranquil state of his surroundings. This rare aerial vista is simply among the most celebrated miracles of this pilgrimage.

What to expect from the yatra?

After reaching Lucknow, you will take the departure for Nepalgunj to commence the tour. A picturesque flight to Simikot will be followed by a stunning 20 minutes helicopter ride to Hilsa, crossing the Nepal-Tibet border with all immigration formalities done on either side. Marvel at the mountains, valleys, and rivers while enjoying a helicopter flight with a big finish. A promise, in all ways, that this journey manifests comfort, luxury, adventure, and religion.

During the yatra, the pilgrims feast their eyes upon Mount Kailash, the abode of Lord Shiva, and serene Lake Manasarovar. The very spiritual acts of circumambulation (Kailash Kora) believed to cleanse and free one from sins, followed by pooja at Mansarovar's shore, are just two of the holy rituals that could be performed during this yatra. To sit back and admire the beauty of the lake surrounded by nature, to engage in a spiritual circumambulation, or to ponder over the very meaning of yatra, the experiences are unparalleled. 

Yamadwar encircles a rugged 52-kilometer journey of three days long Kailash Kora. In this journey, diversities in landscape, erratic weather, and elevations about 5600 meters pose spiritual yet challenging experiences. The beauty of Tibet lies on your plates as you proceed to reinforce your spiritual connection with divinity, with our expert on hand attending to all your needs. Attractions along the way include Nandi Parbat, Gauri Kunda, and some caves. Completing the pilgrimage and its hardships will remain eternal memories coupled with enhancing your mental and physical stamina. Most importantly, remember, the dip in weather greatly affects the functioning of this tour, hence directly affecting the flights and helicopter ride. 

This package, in a way almost luxuriously so, is for Indians who cannot afford too long a holiday yet want to relish the spiritual richness that this holy journey emanates. Our Kailash Mansarovar Yatra by Helicopter from Lucknow for Indians is a plethora of culture, adventure, and spirituality while providing comfortable amenities from lowland Nepalgunj to high-altitude Tibet. Come, let us take you through this of all spiritual journeys that come once in a lifetime.
