Kailash Manasarovar Yatra By Helicopter from Lucknow to Lucknowin 2019 Tour

Package Overview

This 9 days Kailash Manasarovar tour by helicopter is designed for those who have constraints of time and wish to take short and more comfortable journey.We fly Nepalgunj - Simikot by regular flights and Simikot - Hilsa (Nepal - Tibet border) by chartered helicopter. From the border we drive by coach to Manasarovar via Purang,, the most beautiful and peaceful place incomparable to rest of the places on this planet.

We take “parikarma” (circumambulation) of Manasarovar by coach and of Mt. Kailash on foot. Hindus believe that a ritual bath in the sacred Manasarovar delivers a pilgrim to Brahma’s paradise, a drink of its waters relinquishes the sins of hundred life times and a single circumambulation (Kora) of Mt, Kailash wipes out the sins of a lifetime.The journey is indeed a rare opportunity and privilege for devotees who have been dreaming to be close to the home of the Gods and have limited time.
