Kailash Mansarovar Heli Tour
(13 days)
A spiritual journey to some of the important Hindu pilgrimage sites, coupled with an
exciting helicopter flight.
The Kailash Manasarovar Yatra holds immense religious values for the Hindus. Believed to be
the abode of Lord Shiva and Goddess Parvati, Mt. Kailash is claimed to be the apex of the Hindu
religious axis. Lord Shiva or Bhola Baba is the most beloved among the thousands of Hindu
deities. Hence, there are uncountable devotees who take on this tour to receive the blessings of
Lord Shiva and attain spiritual contentment.
Completing a Kora (Parikrama) around Mt. Kailash is believed to erase the sins of a lifetime. To
complete the Kailash pilgrimage, one should bathe in the sacred Lake Manasarovar, which lies
only 30km from Mt Kailash. According to Hindu Mythology, it was formed in the mind of
Brahma, and the Goddess Parvati is believed to have taken the form of the lake Manasarovar.
Even drinking the waters of the lake frees a human being from sins of all kind as well as illness.
Myth has it that the Gods come to bathe every morning in this lake between 3 to 5 am and this
time is called 'Brahmamuhurta'. Another legend has it that Parashuram's ashram is situated on a
hill, on the banks of Manasarovar.
Kailash Yatra begins with an hour flight from Kathmandu, Nepalgunj and Simikot, followed by
an exciting Helicopter ride to Tibet Nepal Border. A 4WD landcruiser or tourist coach transfers
you to Lake Manasarovar, where your spiritual journey begins.

later visit the holiest of Hindu shrine “Pashupatinath”. Pashupatinath is dedicated to Lord Shiva,
one of the trinity and the guardian (patron) deity of the Hindus. A spiritual atmosphere is
