Description

Fly by helicopter from Kathmandu or Pokhara to Muktinath Temple, complete darshan at the 108 water spouts and Jwala Mai flame, and return the same day.
Visit Muktinath Temple in a single day without the multi-day road journey or trek. Muktinath is sacred to both Hindus, as Muktinath Vishnu Temple, one of the 108 Divya Desams, and Buddhists, as Chumig Gyatsa.

Your day begins with a private transfer from your hotel to the airport in Kathmandu or Pokhara, followed by a safety briefing. From Pokhara, the flight takes about 45 minutes. From Kathmandu, it takes about 1 hour 30 minutes, including a refueling stop in Pokhara. The route follows the Kali Gandaki Gorge between the Annapurna and Dhaulagiri ranges into the Mustang region.

After landing at Ranipauwa, spend 45 minutes to 1 hour at the temple for darshan at the main Vishnu shrine, the ritual bath at the 108 water spouts (Mukti Dhara), and a visit to the Jwala Mai eternal flame. Then fly back and transfer to your hotel.

All flights use the Airbus H125 (AS350 B3e) with oxygen and a first-aid kit on board. Flights depend on weather and will be rescheduled or refunded if canceled.
