Muktinath Helicopter tour is a beautiful pilgrimage tour in the Annapurna region of Nepal. The temple of Muktinath is a sacred site for Hindus as well as Buddhists pilgrims. This beautiful pagoda style temple is a symbol of religious harmony in Nepal.

The word Muktinath originated from two sanskrit words “Mukti” meaning “Salvation” and “Nath” meaning “God Almighty”. According to popular beliefs, the temple of Muktinath cleanses all sins committed by a person in the mortal world.

Locals believe that the shrine was risen on its own. It is also one of one of eight most revered shrines in Hinduism. Located at 3800m above sea level, the stunning temple is the primary attraction of the Mustang district. Muktinath is also an acclimatization stop during the Annapurna Circuit trekking.

The Helicopter lands closer to the premises of the Muktinath Temple. Sometimes the weather conditions make it difficult to land near the temple. However, we can arrange a horseback transport facility if necessary.

The spiritual temple on the backdrop snow-covered Annapurna range of mountains is a thing of beauty. Thousands of devotees flock the temple as a part of the Nepal Muktinath Yatra and in the hope of attaining salvation (“mokshya”) from the mortal cycle of life.

We offer this beautiful Muktinath Helicopter tour package at a reasonable cost. Read further for detailed information regarding the trip in detail. Book your trip now!
