See Gosaikunda, the sacred alpine lake in the Langtang National Park, in a single day instead of five days on foot. We collect you from your Kathmandu hotel, you fly by helicopter north to the lake at 4,380 m, and you are back in Kathmandu afterwards.
Important: this tour is available only in December, January and February, and June and July. We cannot sell it for other months. If your dates fall in March to May or September to November, tell us and we will suggest another tour.
The helicopter is chartered for your group alone, up to four guests, on every option, so you never share with strangers. The price per person falls with each extra guest, up to four. The tour includes a landing at the lake, with up to about 30 minutes on the ground, depending on the weather. The pilot makes the final call on the day, and if the weather stops a landing we tell you before you fly. In June and July, monsoon cloud can stop a flight, and in winter the lake can be frozen and the mornings very cold.
Gosaikunda is at 4,380 m, about 3,000 m higher than Kathmandu, and a day flight gives you no time to acclimatise. Tell us about any heart, lung or blood-pressure condition before you book.
The tour starts and ends in Kathmandu, with hotel pick-up and drop-off. Your Kathmandu hotel is not included, but we can arrange it.
Every booking supports the Nagarjun Learning Center, our school in Saldum. The Everest Holiday is a family company founded in 2016, from three generations of guiding in the Himalayas.
