Starving with more and more innovative products Indo Nepal Holidays introduced More comfortable and Shortest Route for Kailash Mansarovar Yatra in 1994. It was Joint venture with Nepal’s Helicopter Company Asian Airlines using their MI17 Helicopters to fly from Nepalgunj to Hilsa from where we can Cross Tibet border Purang (Taklakot) which is just 1 Hour Drive from Mansarovar.

This Tour made such boom in Kailash Mansarovar Yatra field that it gave  fame to Indo Nepal Holidays as #LEADERS IN NEPAL TOURS, PIONEERS IN KAILASH MANSAROVAR YATRAS# in fact using MI17 Helicopter tour become more comfortable, Shorter and safer so even more senior citizens also can travel with this route. There was no proper airport or helipad that time but after becoming popular and more and more tourists locals got more opportunities for employment and Nepal Government also developed small airport at Simikot and helipad at Hilsa.

Helicopter route is highly recommended route as it is most safer, comfortable and easier. You can commence the helicopter tour via Kathmandu combining with Pashupati Darshan but people with limited time frame can opt their route via Lucknow too. The trip requires 11 days from Kathmandu, however it requires 2 days less if you travel via Lucknow.
The ideal time to undertake this journey is from middle of May till the end of June and Mid Aug to end Sep. Normally, the weather during this period will be stable in high mountain region of west Nepal with less rainfall & cloud.

FAQs

Many Says We do not get proper acclimatization in helicopter route is it true?
Helicopter is Most safer route among all routes for Kailash Mansarovar Yatra. As if you go in overland route you stay at Gyirong for acclimatization after Gyirong to reach Mansarovar you take 2 days and en route also you pass many mountain passes.
If you travel on Lhasa route you stay at Lhasa for acclimatization and after Lhasa you take at-least 3 days to reach Mansarovar also you pass many mountain passes.
When you travel by Helicopter you stay at Taklakot for acclimatization and after acclimatization you reach Mansarovar in just 1 Hour.
Now in very simple language just define your acclimatization as you are taking some energy medicine how much time effect of that medicine will be? so when you are traveling by helicopter you are getting acclimatize at Purang (Taklakot) and after acclimatize you reach in 1 hour to your destination Mansarovar means you reach with full of energy.
If we do not want to go for Kailash Parikrama trek can we short tour ?
If you are not going for parikrama trek you will stay in hotel at Dharchen. As in Tibet you are traveling in group visa so full group have to cross border together. Even thou if you wish to short your program you have to pay extra for
1. extra transport to border have to discuss with driver and guide.
2. Splitting of your name from group visa to emigration office. about RMB 400 per person
3. Other penalties levied by Chinese authorities about US$ 100 per day.
