About Muktinath Helicopter Tour
The Muktinath Helicopter Tour is a spiritual and scenic day trip to one of Nepal’s holiest pilgrimage destinations — Muktinath Temple (3,800 m / 12,467 ft) — located in the breathtaking Mustang region.
Known as the “Temple of Salvation”, Muktinath is sacred to both Hindus and Buddhists, attracting thousands of devotees each year. This luxury helicopter tour is the fastest, safest, and most comfortable way to reach this remote temple nestled beneath the snow-capped Annapurna and Dhaulagiri ranges.
Starting from Kathmandu (or Pokhara), the helicopter journey takes you over dramatic landscapes — green valleys, deep gorges, arid mountains, and the world’s deepest gorge, Kaligandaki. After landing near Muktinath, you’ll have enough time for darshan (holy visit), 108 water spout bath, and puja rituals, before flying back to Kathmandu or Pokhara with magnificent views of the Himalayas.
This is a perfect tour for pilgrims, elderly travelers, or luxury seekers who want to experience spirituality and the Himalayas in a single day.
