Embark on a spiritual journey to the sacred Gosaikunda Lake with our Gosaikunda Heli Tour. Nestled amidst the breathtaking Langtang Himalayan range, this holy lake is a revered pilgrimage site for both Hindus and Buddhists. This exclusive helicopter tour offers a rare opportunity to experience the divine energy of Gosaikunda without the strenuous trek, allowing you to witness its beauty from above.
Soar over stunning landscapes, marveling at the grandeur of snow-capped peaks as you approach this mystical destination. Located at an altitude of 4,380 meters, Gosaikunda is a pristine Himalayan lake deeply rooted in religious mythology. According to legend, Lord Shiva created the lake by piercing a glacier with his trident to quench his thirst. At the center of the lake, a large white stone is believed to be the remains of an ancient Shiva temple, while a shrine on the shore houses a Shiva Lingam.
This sacred lake holds immense significance, particularly during the Janai Purnima festival in August, when thousands of devotees gather to take a ritual dip in its holy waters. Janai Purnima, also known as Raksha Bandhan, is a time when Hindu men renew their sacred thread (Janai), and sisters tie protective threads around their brothers’ wrists as a symbol of love and blessing. The lake is also believed to have an underground connection to the Kumbeshwar Temple in Patan, adding to its mystical allure.
Your journey begins in Kathmandu Valley, where you’ll ascend into the skies, leaving behind the city’s hustle and bustle. The helicopter ride unveils an extraordinary panorama of the Langtang, Ganesh Himal, and Manaslu ranges, their snow-clad peaks creating a mesmerizing spectacle. As you approach Gosaikunda, the landscape transforms into an ethereal wonderland of glacial beauty. The serene lake, surrounded by towering mountains, reflects the sky in a breathtaking display of nature’s artistry.
