Overview

Normally, the Muktinath Helicopter Tour begins in Pokhara, but it is possible to organize it from Kathmandu at your request; however, here we at Nepal Mother House Treks organize a heli tour from Pokhara. Muktinath Heli Tour is a combination of religious serenity, cultural uniqueness, and beautiful natural scenery. It is believed that all miseries and sorrows are relieved once you visit this Muktinath Temple (Mukti = Nirvana or status of Liberty or freedom; Nath = God). The famous Muktinath Temple lies in the Mustang district, situated about 18 km northeast of Jomsom at 3800 meters altitude. The Buddhist and Hindu shrine—the pagoda-shaped Muktinath temple—is dedicated to Lord Vishnu. Set into the wall around it are 108 waterspouts from which to pour holy water; even during the winter, people also take baths here to wash out their sins (bad karma). Where, The present Prime Minister of India, "Narendra Damodar Modi," had meditated in Mukti Chhetra for threemonths to get Shhidhi, whose middle name comming from Damodar Kunda, the source of Kali Gandaki, after visited the shrine.

The Muktinath Darshan Yatra trip by helicopter makes it easy to access the Hindu holy site Muktinath. People believed that one should visit this temple after completing a pilgrimage to four special religious sites in India. Buddhists and Hindus both regard the Muktinath temple as sacred. The Jwala Mai temple nearby contains a spring and an eternal flame fed by natural gas underground, believed to be a real God. There is a world-class accommodation facility in Jomsom and Muktinath from where one can enjoy remarkable natural beauty. There are two ways to get to Muktinath: either taking a flight from Pokhara to Jomsom and hiking for 7-8 hours from Jomsom or trekking from Pokhara through Kali-Gandaki Valley, which takes 7/8 days to walk. Nowadaysays you can drive from Kathmandu/Pokhara to Muktinath by private jeep or regular bus.

On this Muktinath Helicopter Tour program, you are taking a Helicopter flight from the tourist city Pokhara to Muktinath, about a 30- to 40-minute scenic flight through the Kaligandaki Valley Eyes witness the gigantic mountains Annapurna I (8,091 m) and Dhaulagiri (8,167 m). Then visit the Hindu's most sacred temples, Muktinath and Jawala Mai, taking some time to worship the God Muktinatha and pray Jwala Mai. Muktinath is above the Kaligandaki Valley and Kagbeni village, where Kaligandaki (Krishna Gandaki River) originates from Damodarkund and 108 different shapes of the Shaigram (fossil). It is believed that Shaigram is the incarnation of Lord Vishnu. After earning good virtue from the Muktinath visit, fly back to Pokhara by helicopter. If you have time, you may extend the Muktinath Tour by Helicopter to Damodar Kunda also.

The Muktinath Helicopter Tour from Pokhara is one of the best religious trip packages for pilgrims, who can visit Buddhist serene and Hindu secret sites at the same time. We at Nepal Mother House are glad to organize your Muktinath Darshan Yatra by helicopter and customize the itinerary according to your requirements with the best cost offer.
