Pathivara temple is an important religious heritage site located in the remote hills of the Taplejung district. This sacred site of Goddess Pathivara Devi is significant in Hinduism and Buddhism. Kiratis worship the goddess and call the temple “Mukkumlung” in their language. This powerful “Shakti Peeth” is widely believed to fulfill the wishes of her devotees.
Pilgrims from India and Nepal flock to the region to visit the temple annually on special occasions. Many pilgrims believe that the pilgrimage to the temple will fulfill their wishes. You can offer your prayers with animal sacrifices and other rituals on the temple premises. Located at an altitude of 3,794 m (12,448 ft), this incredible temple remains located at a stunning location from where you can observe the spectacular vista.
However, the remote location of this temple also means that the road to get there is challenging. You will have to pass through winding roads for a long duration to arrive at the temple. Especially senior citizens who are most likely to go on a pilgrimage tour will find it challenging to complete such a long trip by road. Additionally, there is a long climb uphill on steps to arrive at the top of the temple premises. Not everyone can take this hiking journey to the temple.
Hence a helicopter tour is perfect in these conditions. The beautiful Pathivara temple helicopter tour will take you to the hilltop at the temple premises in a short duration. You will arrive at the temple premises in just 1 hour from Kathmandu. Another exciting aspect of the aerial tour is that you can observe the spectacular Himalayan vista during the tour. You can observe the Kumbhakarna Himalayan range and other scenic views like green hills, lakes, meadows, rivers, etc.
You can perform puja, havan, animal sacrifices, and other rituals at the temple premises. Pilgrims also donate gold and silver to the Pathivara temple to fulfill their wishes and desires. Hence, this helicopter tour is quite a blessing for those travelers who cannot make their way on foot or by road.
