Overview
Muktinath Yatra by Helicopter 2026
The Muktinath Helicopter Tour 2026 is the fastest and most comfortable way to seek blessings at the sacred Muktinath Temple, making it an ideal choice for pilgrims with limited time. This exclusive helicopter pilgrimage allows devotees to visit Muktinath and return on the same day, avoiding long road journeys and physically demanding routes.
Operated as a private helicopter tour for 1 to 5 pilgrims, the journey begins with an early morning hotel pickup followed by a direct helicopter flight from Kathmandu or Pokhara, depending on the selected option. Weather permitting, pilgrims are flown close to the temple area, given sufficient ground time for darshan, pooja, and ritual bathing, and then flown back safely.
With a total duration of approximately 3 hours from Kathmandu and 2 hours from Pokhara, the Muktinath Helicopter Yatra offers a seamless blend of devotion, adventure, and breathtaking Himalayan views—carefully curated by Divine Kailash for a once-in-a-lifetime spiritual experience.
Description of Muktinath Yatra by Helicopter 2026
Reaching Muktinath Temple through traditional routes can be physically demanding due to rugged terrain, long driving hours from Pokhara, and unpredictable mountain weather. Overland journeys often require multiple days of travel through rough roads or high-altitude trekking routes, including crossings near the Thorong La Pass.
The Muktinath Helicopter Tour eliminates these challenges by offering a direct and time-efficient aerial route to one of Nepal’s most revered pilgrimage sites. This Muktinath Yatra by Helicopter is especially beneficial for devotees who wish to visit Muktinath in a single day without compromising on spiritual rituals or comfort.
The best seasons for the Muktinath Helicopter Yatra are March to June and September to December, when skies are generally clear and mountain visibility is at its best. During these months, pilgrims are rewarded with crystal-clear views of the Himalayan ranges stretching from Langtang to Annapurna.
Pilgrims can choose between two helicopter tour options—starting from Kathmandu or Pokhara. While Kathmandu offers a direct long-range helicopter experience, Pokhara provides a shorter and more cost-effective option with equally stunning mountain scenery.
At Divine Kailash, we manage all aspects of the helicopter charter, landing permissions, temple access coordination, and ground arrangements. Where required, assistance such as horses or local support is arranged to ensure pilgrims can comfortably reach the temple premises and complete their rituals with peace of mind.

Customer Reviews
GOOD Based on 5 reviews Posted on deepu KuldeepTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We are five Bangalore residents who travelled to Muktinath, Pokhara, and Kathmandu with Divine Kailash in December 2022. It was a road trip from Gorakhpur, and everything went perfectly, with excellent service, hotels, food, and all arrangements. The best part is the Nepali support contact; one phone call and all your problems are resolved. Special thanks to both drivers, who are very experienced, and especially to the Nepali driver who drove us to Muktinath.Posted on Sanjay ATrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

HI, We, a family of 5, (4 Senior citizens,) booked a tour from chennai to gorakpur,mukthinath, pasupathinath,pokhra, kathmandu, janakpur,gorakhpur, ayodhya, naimisharanya. The entire tour was tailormade and organised by Divine Kailash. Mr. Akshay from Bangalore office chalked out our itinary as per our demands. He is a very cordial, helpful person. Till we returned back to chennai, he was constantly enquiring about our well being and catering to our every requests. We are grateful to him for his support throughout. REG. our trip: From Gorakhpur they booked an Innova for us. The driver Mr.Manish was a superb , dynamic and skilled person. Mr.Manish guided us in such a way, to cover all the places in our package. Had a leisurely darshan in all the temples.The hotels booked for us were very clean and classy. Our Package included Breakfast and dinner which were served on time and service wise and quality wise was very delicious. .Ours was a 12day tour and a a very memorable one. Gorakhpur - Gorakhnath Temple - Gorakhpur to Lumbini - by Road - covered Lumbini, Buddhas Birthplace, Monastries of varoius countries Lumbini to Bhairahawa - visited Gajendra Moksha sthala Bhairahawa to Pokhra - by road and stay in Pokhra Pokhra to Jomsom - by flight Jomsom to Mukthinath - by Jeep till mukthinath Base and then we trekked to the temple,. We took almost 1 hour as we took rest in between. As it was slightly sunny, we took bath in Icecold 108 springs, and two Kunds and stayed till 4pm. Very very peaceful darshan of Mukthinath. On our return stayed in Jomsom for the night and flew back to Pokhra the next morning Pokhra sight seeing like gupteshwar Mahadev, Davis Falls, Phewa Lake and Taal barahi Temple Pokhra to Kathmandu - by Road - very Scenic route crossing many mountains and rivers below. We skipped Manakamna Devi Temple as there was very very lengthy queues . Instead we covered Chandragiri hills by cable car and enjoyed the view of kathmandu valley, and beautiful snow clad Himalayas. The entrance fee is fair and the place is well maintained. In Kathmandu visited the great Pasupathinath Temple, Guhyeshari Temple - Shakthi Peeth, Jal Narayan, Doleshwar Mahadev one of the Panch Kedar, Bhakthapur Durbar Square fully,, Changu Narayan Temple From Kathmandu to Janakpur by Road again a very scenic route and skillful drive by Mr.Manish, visited Janaki Mata temple- Sita Marhi, Birthplace of Mata Sita devi Janakpur to Gorakhpur to Ayuodhya- visited Ayodhya temple Drive to Naimisharanya stay for night. Naimisharanya temple and Ghats visit and proceded to Lucknow airport to board flight to chennai. Cons: If a guide was provided at Bhakthapur Durbar Square, it would have been better. We suggest Divine Kailash to arrange for dropping and pickup of the tourists nearer to the Temples like many other tourist buses and cabs. Reg. Hotels: Gorakhpur : Hotel 10th Park Street - a very very classy hotel, a very clean and prompt service and great food Bhairahawa: Hotel Redson -- OK but not great -- have to wait for hours to get ur food. Pokhra - Kuti Resort 2. an annexe of Kutti Resort...Food and beverages was served inMain Kuti Resort - for which we had to shuttle everytime which could hav been avoided. Naimisharanya - Viswanath Palace- Which should be avoided and not a worthy place to stay Except for these minor issues, our entire trip was well organised and executed. We thank Mr. Akash, Mr. Manish and Mr. Nitesh of Nepal for making this happen.
