Holy Mount Kailash is the heaven in the tree realms of oriental existence and Manasarovar Lake ‘the unconquerable turquoise Lake’ in Tibet. The famous holy Mt. Kailash, Lakes Manasarovar and Raksas Tal are situated in the Arctic Tibetan plateau in western Tibet between the mountain ranges of Gurla Mandata (Nemo Nangni 7694m) in the southeast and Kunlung Mountain in the northwest. Being in the Trans-Himalayas, this mandala is not only important for theists but is also beautiful scenery for atheists. Conventional wisdom says a single circuit of Mount Kailash wipes out the sins of a lifetime, 108 circuits guarantees enlightenment. A ritual bath in the sacred Lake Mansarovar delivers pilgrim to Brahma's paradise and a drop drink of its water relinquishes the sins of hundreds of lifetimes. Kailash Manasarovar Helicopter Tour 10 days is shortest route for Kailash Manasarovar yatra. We use fixed wing aircraft and charter helicopter till Nepal China border to just reduce your days for busy person, elderly people or for physical challenged ladies and gentlemen. We fly Kathmandu – Nepalgunj - Simikot by fixed wing air craft and a short ride by charter helicopter to the Nepal China boarder Hilsa. We walk for a while to enter the Chinese Immigration and 3-hour drive to sacred land Lake Manasarovar via Purang county head quarter. However, we have to acclimatize 2 nights in Simikot and Purang to fit our blood oxygen. After holy bath and Puja, we drive Darchen Mt. Kailash Base Camp. Next couple of days we walk around holy Mountain. On Additional one can visit Tirthapuri another holy site of west Tibet or drive directly back to Hilsa border and continuously flying back to Kathmandu.
