Introduction to Langtang Helicopter Tour

Situated very close to Kathmandu, it still takes a day to reach Langtang Valley by road. Flying in by helicopter is much faster and a fantastic way to see a new location from above.

The area is home to Tamangs and Sherpas and therefore has a Buddhist culture, as you will discover at Kyanjin Gompa monastery. There is time to explore the monastery and meet some of the monks.

Some of the majestic mountains you will see are Langtang Lirung (7,234m /23,733 ft), Langtang Ri (7,205m /23,638 ft), and Dorje Lakpa (6,966m / 22,854 ft), among many more.

The helicopter tour leaves Kathmandu in the morning and takes around 30 minutes to reach Langtang Valley. The valley is surrounded by the mountains in the Langtang range, such as Langtang itself, Langtang Ri, Dorje Lakpa, and many more, some of which are over 7,000m /22,965 ft high.

You get fantastic views of these mountains and the landscape from the helicopter. Langtang Valley used to have a thriving town that was destroyed by the 2015 earthquake. It is slowly coming back to life as the locals rebuild.

The flight also stops at Kyanjin Gompa, a Buddhist monastery. Most of the inhabitants of this region are Tamangs and Sherpas who practice Buddhism, and there is plenty of evidence of this, from small gompas (shrines) to fluttering prayer flags.
