A helicopter tour to Langtang will take you close to mountains situated near the crowded capital city of Kathmandu. Langtang is the third most popular highland area after the Everest and Annapurna regions.

Langtang lies in the north of the Kathmandu Valley, just about 51 km away, and the region hosts the Langtang National Park. The park contains 2 of the most popular religious sites: one is a Hindu pilgrimage site named Gosainkunda Lake, and another one is the spiritual site of the Buddhist monastery named Kyanjin Gompa.

The Langtang helicopter tour is the shortest helicopter flight to the Himalayas in the Langtang valley. It takes half an hour to reach Kyanjin Gompa of Langtang from Kathmandu via helicopter. We will land at Kyanjin Gompa, which is inside the Langtang National Park. This helicopter tour allows you to get a view of mountains in proximity. In a short while, without much physical effort, you will get a closer view of soaring peaks. Exploring around and getting the closest view of mountain-like Langtang Lirung, Langshisa Ri, Ganesh Himal, Dorje Lakpa, Paldor Peak, Jugal Himal, Yala Peak, and Singri Himal, we will fly back to Kathmandu. In total, the helicopter tour to Langtang is one and a half hours.
