3. How many passengers can travel in a flight at a time?

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.

Of course, medical facilities are available for travelers who have a severe health condition or are in desperate need of treatment.

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.

7. Do I have to take health precautions during the trek?

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.
