In just 30 minutes, you’ll soar above lush hills, traditional Tamang villages, and dramatic landscapes before arriving at Kyanjin Gompa, a picturesque village known for its ancient Buddhist monastery and rich Tibetan cultural influences.

This tour is the shortest and most convenient helicopter journey to the Himalayas from Kathmandu, making it ideal for those seeking spectacular mountain views without the days-long trek7. Along the way, you’ll enjoy panoramic vistas of snow-capped peaks such as Langtang Lirung, Ganesh Himal, and Dorje Lakpa, as well as glimpses of the pristine Gosaikunda Lake and the diverse ecosystems of Langtang National Park.

Upon landing at Kyanjin Gompa, you’ll have time to explore the village, visit the monastery, and sample the region’s famous yak cheese at the local factory. The tour also provides a unique opportunity to interact with local Tamang residents and learn about their culture, traditions, and spiritual heritage.

With a total duration of 1.5 to 2 hours, including 30-45 minutes on the ground, the Langtang Helicopter Tour is a quick yet immersive way to discover the beauty and culture of Nepal’s third-most popular trekking region-all in a single day.
