Damodar Kunda Helicopter Tour from Pokhara: Sacred High Himalayan Pilgrimage
4 to 5 hours (approx.) Days
Easy
Pokhara/Pokhara
July - September
Helicopter/Jeep
Restricted Area Permit (Upper Mustang)
The Damodar Kunda Helicopter Tour from Pokhara is one of Nepal’s most sacred and exclusive pilgrimage helicopter journeys, taking you to the holy alpine lakes of Damodar Kunda, located deep in the Upper Mustang region.
Damodar Kunda is considered one of the holiest sites in Hinduism, closely associated with Lord Vishnu. It is believed that a holy dip in Damodar Kunda washes away sins and grants spiritual liberation. Traditionally, this pilgrimage requires weeks of strenuous trekking through remote terrain, but with a helicopter tour, devotees can complete this divine journey safely and comfortably in a single day.
The flight offers extraordinary aerial views of Annapurna, Dhaulagiri, Nilgiri, Thorong Peak, and the dramatic trans-Himalayan desert landscapes of Mustang.
Your pilgrimage begins with a transfer to Pokhara Airport, followed by a detailed safety and altitude briefing. The helicopter departs toward Mustang, passing over lush valleys that gradually transition into stark trans-Himalayan landscapes.
En route, you will witness Kali Gandaki Gorge, Jomsom valley, Muktinath region, and barren high-altitude terrain that feels spiritually powerful and untouched.
The helicopter lands near Damodar Kunda, subject to weather and safety conditions. You will have approximately 15–20 minutes to perform prayers, rituals, and holy observances near the sacred lakes.
Due to the extreme altitude, landing time is strictly limited for safety reasons.
After completing the spiritual visit, the helicopter returns directly to Pokhara, offering final panoramic Himalayan views.

I first used Mohan's services back in 2022. I then returned to Nepal the following year in 23 and most recently this year I spent June-August in Pokhara. Mohan is a very jovial, friendly laid back fellow and first time we met we had an instant connection. He's mostly helped me with transport to and from Pokhara & Kathmandu, but also most recently I used one of his fine jeeps to take me to Muktinath. Also his drivers are very experienced lovely people so the journeys have been great!.
His prices are very competitive, and he's given me some nice discounts over the years so I'm grateful for that. Also whenever I've had to change my plans last minute he's been extremely flexible in accommodating my needs. I consider Mohan a friend and will continue to use his services in my future travels to Nepal.
I'd highly recommend anyone to use Mohan, whether it be for trekking or taxi services, he's well established & connected and always has a can do attitude with a smile.
Cheers Mohan 👋 😊

Great experience. Mohan helped us organise a great 7-day trek, helped also with transport to Pokhara and always answered our questions. The communication was very good and clear. Our trek was fully organised, our guide really friendly and we enjoyed every minute of it. The price was also good.

Outstanding service across multiple offerings! I initially contacted for a solo trek, which was the highlight of my trip. Hi Nepal demonstrated prompt dropoff/pickup, excellent trek guide tailored to my needs, and overall just a great experience. All with only 12 hours notice!
After some travel issues I experienced with my airplane, Hi Nepal also worked with me on a taxi all the way to Kathmandu which removed the anxiety from my situation entirely. I was picked up promptly at the time I requested, and the company stayed in contact with me to ensure all went perfectly.
10/10 - will be using them again for my next trip in Nepal!
