FAQs

The Gosaikunda Helicopter Tour typically lasts between 2 to 3 hours in total. This includes a scenic 20 to 25-minute helicopter flight from Kathmandu to the sacred Gosaikunda Lake, a 30 to 45-minute stopover on the ground to explore, perform rituals, and take photos, and then a return flight of similar duration. The entire experience is designed to give you a quick yet immersive visit to one of Nepal’s most spiritual and beautiful alpine lakes.

The best time to take the Gosaikunda Helicopter Tour is during the spring (March to June) and autumn (September to November) seasons. During these months, the weather is generally clear with stable skies, offering spectacular views of the Himalayan ranges and ensuring safer and more reliable helicopter flights. The monsoon season (June to August) often brings heavy rain and low visibility, which can cause flight delays or cancellations.

Yes, visitors need permits to enter Langtang National Park and access the Gosaikunda area. When you book the tour with Nepal Horizon Treks, all necessary permits, including national park fees and helicopter landing fees, are arranged on your behalf. This ensures a hassle-free experience so you can focus on enjoying the journey without worrying about paperwork.

Absolutely! The Gosaikunda Helicopter Tour is a perfect alternative for travelers who want to experience the natural beauty and spiritual significance of Gosaikunda without spending several days trekking in high-altitude terrain. This option is ideal for families, elderly travelers, or anyone with time constraints or physical limitations.

Gosaikunda Lake sits at an elevation of approximately 4,380 meters (14,370 feet) above sea level. While this is considered high altitude, the helicopter tour’s short duration on the ground significantly reduces the risk of severe altitude sickness. However, it’s important to stay hydrated, move slowly during the visit, and inform the guides if you feel any symptoms of altitude discomfort.

For your helicopter tour, it’s best to dress in warm, layered clothing, as temperatures at high altitude can be cold and windy. Sunglasses and sunscreen are essential to protect against strong UV rays at elevation. Don’t forget a camera or smartphone to capture the breathtaking Himalayan scenery. Also, bring any personal necessities such as lip balm, water, and light snacks to keep comfortable during the brief stopover.
