Kathmandu-Muktinath-Kathmandu Helicopter Day Tour

Travel insurance isn’t a must for trekkers visiting Muktinath via helicopter. However, we usually recommend our clients to purchase one and prevent the loss caused by unforeseen events. Travel insurance usually covers medical emergencies, flight cancelations, delays, and medical evacuation. It also helps travelers escape the potential risk that might leave them stranded on the trail.

The flight to Muktinath from Kathmandu takes just  1 hour,  offering picturesque views. The entire trip lasts about  3 hours,  during which you’ll explore the nearby villages along with a visit to the pilgrimage.

Visitors boarding the flight from Pokhara will be traveling less than  20 minutes  to get to the temple. Throughout the whole journey, they’ll be feasting their eyes on the terrific view, striking mountains, and soaring hills, and rock cliffs.

The private helicopter flight from Kathmandu to Muktinath can assist up to  5 passengers  at a time. It doesn’t matter if the number of travelers on board is less than the maximum, but it shouldn’t exceed the limit. You can either wander in a group or family if not intrigued in taking a solo heli ride.

It will not just give you a company but also help reduce the cost of hiring a chopper.

However, if you decide to travel alone, then the entire amount must be paid by yourself. It’s worthwhile, though, as passengers have a whole aircraft for themself.

The pilots flying the aircraft to Muktinath are professionals with experience of decades and more. They are well aware of handling situations in an unpredictable environment. Most of these pilots are used to flying aircraft in the Himalayas, and they know the conditions pretty well, preventing the threat. They will also take care of your safety, ensuring that you have no trouble on the flight.

Of course, medical facilities are available for travelers who have a severe health condition or are in desperate need of treatment. The flight will also accommodate trekkers suffering from altitude sickness and shortness of breath. They’ll be provided supplemental oxygen and other medical care until the flight arrives at the city.

Children can definitely take a helicopter ride to Muktinath but under the close eye of parents or elders. They have to make sure that the kids are comfortable on the flight and don’t feel anxious or bothered while traveling. But, if they don’t feel well or have a tough time traveling, we’ll put off the trip right then and wait until they ease off.

Although Muktinath lies only at an elevation of  3,800 meters,  acute mountain sickness possibilities remain high due to direct flight. Travelers may feel dizziness and headaches after arriving at the spot due to air pressure. Therefore, we suggest all our passengers take the necessary medical precautions before traveling to the temple.

The ground landing time during Muktinath Helicopter Tour is  2 hours.  Meanwhile, at the time allowed, you can go on a little sightseeing of the temple and take an insight into the culture. While in Muktinath valley, you can explore the beautiful settlement, soaring hills, and gompas in the region. As long as it’s feasible, one can stop by the village and interact with locals.

The clothes required on a trip to Muktinath depend on when you’re traveling the region. As the weather in Muktinath is usually cold with frequent wind storms, trekkers must bring something warm to protect themself from cold. However, during summer, it’s blazing hot in Muktinath; therefore, you must bring light and comfortable outfits on the trip.
