Lantang helicopter tour is relatively short and takes around 1 and half hour trip to complete. Below is the detailed itinerary of the Langtang Valley Helicopter tour in Nepal.
The flight usually takes place early in the morning between 6:30 am to 7 am. Flight timing may vary or delay depending upon the weather condition.
One of the representatives from Trekking Plus will receive you from your hotel and transfer to airport.
Flight Briefing With Pilot Introduction And Boarding
For safety, our captains will run you through some important guidelines and things to avoid during the helicopter flight. During the meetup, you will get a chance to introduce each other and clear up any questions that you might have before boarding the helicopter.
We highly encourage you to follow the instructions given by the pilots and contribute to a sound flight.
As the helicopter takes off from the airport, you will get an interesting aerial view of the Kathmandu valley. We then head towards the east. After approximately 45 minutes of dramatic flight, Kyanjin Gompa will be visible, located behind a ridge from the scattered settlements which makes the village of Kyanjin.
Once you step out, an amazing aura of thin air constantly fills your heart with an extreme sense of adventure and height. The valley is decorated with Buddhist prayer flags and a bright smile on their face. Kyanjin Gompa is about the spirit rather than the beauty. The entry to Kyanjin Gompa is mostly made up of stones and wood. The posters of Lord Buddha all over the walls reflect peace and positivity.
Our next destination will be the Local Cheese Factory. The factory produces organic and fresh Yak cheese which are exported to different countries of the world. It is one of the outstanding viewpoints of the Kyanjin Valley. After all the activities, we prepare our flight back to Kathmandu.
The Langtang Helicopter Tour comes to an end as we fly back to the domestic terminal at Tribhuvan International Airport. Swirling above the valley for one last time, we bid our goodbyes to the beautiful Kyanjin Valley. After around 45 mins we will reach the airport on our regular schedule.
