Introduction to Gosaikunda Lake Helicopter Tour

Situated very close to Kathmandu is Gosainkunda Lake. Lying within the Langtang National Park, this mystical lake and beautiful landscape do not attract many trekkers, perhaps because of the logistics of getting there. Of course, it is easy to get there by helicopter.

If you are interested in mountains and lakes as well as Buddhism and mythology even older than Buddha himself, you will love this helicopter tour to Gosainkunda Lake.

If you are interested in mountains and lakes as well as Buddhism and mythology even older than Buddha himself, you will love this helicopter tour to Gosainkunda Lake.

Gosainkunda Lake is a freshwater lake and a UNESCO Ramsar site, meaning it is a wetland of international importance. But what is more exciting is that it is considered a holy site by both Hindus and Buddhists. Hindus believe the lake was formed when Lord Shiva thrust his trident into the mountain to get water. Mainly a quiet area, it comes alive at the full moon in August. Known as Janai Purnima, this festival attracts thousands of pilgrims who come to bathe and worship at the lake. If you don’t mind the crowds, this is a particularly colorful time to visit.

The helicopter tour leaves Kathmandu in the morning and takes 15 to 20 minutes to reach Langtang National Park. You will see mountains in the Manaslu range, Ganesh Himal range, Langtang Lirung, and some Tibetan peaks. Below lie the three lakes, Saraswati Kunda and Bhairab Kunda – named after gods and Gosaikunda Lake.

From the helicopter, you get fantastic views of these mountains and the landscape below, something you will never forget. Flying over Tokha, the Trishuli River, Dunche,, and Chanda Bari to finally reach Gosaikunda, the views from the helicopter of these landscapes below are astounding. And, of course, the majestic mountains surround you as you fly through the clear blue sky.

The helicopter lands at Gosainkunda Lake for around 20 minutes,, so you can take in the atmosphere and gather plenty of footage and photos.
