Trip Itinerary

6:00 AM

Are you ready to fly over the mountains and experience heaven on Earth? Well, that will happen in no time from now.

Have a good breakfast and wear warm clothes because you are moving to extremely cold weather from Kathmandu’s mild weather. Pack all your essentials needed for a heli tour. After you’re all set, our representative will arrive on time and brief you about your Langtang Heli Tour.
The mornings are likely to have less traffic jams. Do not fully believe that, as Kathmandu’s traffic can be very unforgiving sometimes. The driver will take you to the airport, where you will see a helicopter waiting just for As you move toward the airport, enjoy the calm morning of the city.

06:30 AM

After arrival, you will be guided to the designated check-in counter. Carry your passport and documents in your hands or somewhere in your bag where they are easily accessible. You will also receive your booking confirmation beforehand. 

When all the paperwork is done, airport security will check your bags, screen them, and tag them for your tour. That follows with a quick security screening. When formalities are done, you will proceed to your assigned boarding gate after the security clearance announcement. Be attentive to the announcements and follow the instructions to board your helicopter on time

07:00 AM

Now that we’re done with the airport stuff and you hear the boarding announcement, you will be guided to the helicopter. You will be excited, but remain calm and listen to all the safety briefings, emergency procedures, and safety equipment that the helicopter crew will provide to you. 

Considering you are aware of all the instructions and have taken your seat, the moment you all have been waiting for arrives. The helicopter will take off and fly towards the destination, the Langtang region.

As you fly higher, you will get the morning view of the Kathmandu Valley. The view slowly transitions to the white Himalayas and raw landscapes. You will also be blessed with the golden view of Ganesh Himal and Manalsu on the way. 

 If the weather remains clear, we will land in a flat area near Kyanjin Gompa in around 30-45 minutes.

07:30 AM

You have half an hour to tour the surroundings and enjoy the beauty of the Langtang region. Langtang is nothing like Kathmandu and the temperatures there can be harsh. So, cover yourself with warmer clothes to prevent any weather-related issues.

Since Kyanjin Gompa sits at a height of 3,860 meters, your body feels uneasy coping with the altitude. To prevent that, you can acclimatize by resting for a while. Get your snacks and water bottle ready in an easily accessible backpack. Remember that you have an hour to explore and relish this beautiful place.

07:30 AM

The morning view of the region is something to die for. It is also the best time to visit the monastery and indulge in some deep meditation for a few minutes. Following that, you may stroll through the nearest village, where all the houses are traditionally built with stones. You can also stop by to chat with the locals.

You will easily spot Langtang Lirung, Ganesh Himal, and other peaks from the Gompa. Do not forget to live in the moment and also take pictures of the stunning scenery because photographs can make you relive this moment again. 

You can also visit the local cheese factory, where locals make fresh cheese from yak milk. If any spare time remains, take a walk along the Kyanjin River, which will soothe your ears with its flowing sound. 

If you suspect any altitude sickness, especially shortness of breath, move to the helicopter ASAP and seek medical guidance.

08:00 AM

After a dreamy time in the Langtang region, it is time to depart back to Kathmandu. After you sit in the helicopter, and as it starts descending, you will notice a dramatic shift from the snow-capped mountains to green valleys. 

Now that the morning is clearer, you will get better visions of the giant mountains. Through that, you will also notice some glaciers, rivers, and deep valleys carving through the mountains. And it is time you see tiny villages in the natural beauty. You know you’re closer to Kathmandu when you approach a bustling city, full of houses and buildings.

Within a few minutes, you will land back at the airport, from where you took off to Langtang two hours ago. 

08:30 AM

Now that you have arrived at Tribhuwan International Airport, you will carry your bags and proceed towards the exit gate. Before that, do not forget to thank your pilot for such a lovely tour.

 You might feel a bit jetlagged after arriving in Kathmandu because of the changes in temperatures your body has had to go through in the last two hours. While you were experiencing freezing temperatures just a couple of hours ago, now you are trying to cope with the city’s mild climate. But it will be fine in a few minutes.

09:00 AM

We will pick you up at the airport and make arrangements to locate you back to the hotel. During the short ride, you can relax and recall all the huge memories you created just two hours ago. While it may seem like a dream, you made it to one of the most beautiful places in Nepal and back in no time.

After reaching the hotel, you can rest for some time and then have a proper meal of daal bhaat. As for the daytime, you can get out and enjoy Kathmandu’s beauty.

FAQ's

The normal capacity of a helicopter embarking on the Langtang Tour is 5–6 passengers and a pilot. That said, the numbers can slightly vary, depending on the helicopter model, the weight of the passengers, and the baggage. It is smart to confirm the exact capacity with your tour operator before booking.

We suggest mornings because they often have calmer winds and clearer skies than other times of the day, which is best for a heli ride. A clear visibility of the sky creates a lesser chance of turbulence and gives passengers the best view of the mountains and the surroundings.

One can normally expect to pay Rs. 33,000 to Rs. 47,000 for the package. But it all depends on the operator, the season you’re traveling in, and certain inclusions in the package. Other than that, your personal expenses are not included in the package.
