Overview

The Kailash Mansarovar Yatra by helicopter offers a faster, more comfortable route to the sacred Mount Kailash and Lake Mansarovar, ideal for those with time constraints or seeking a less strenuous journey. Typically spanning 10–11 days, the pilgrimage starts in Kathmandu or Lucknow, proceeding via Nepalgunj and Simikot to Hilsa by helicopter. From Hilsa, pilgrims cross into Tibet and travel by road to Taklakot, then onward to Mansarovar Lake and Mount Kailash for the revered Parikrama. The itinerary includes acclimatization days, VIP darshan, and essential services like meals, lodging, and oxygen support .
