Tips:
Choosing the right time for Rara Lake helicopter tour is essential to make the most of your Himalayan experience. Rara Lake, the largest lake in Nepal, is surrounded by pristine forests, snow-capped peaks, and rolling hills, making it a perfect destination for aerial sightseeing.
The best time for Rara Lake helicopter tour depends on weather, visibility, and the natural scenery you want to enjoy. While the lake is beautiful throughout the year, spring and autumn offer the most breathtaking experiences for travelers.
Spring is one of the best times for a Rara Lake helicopter tour. During this season, the skies are mostly clear, temperatures are moderate, and the surrounding hills bloom with vibrant rhododendrons. This combination of mild weather and colorful scenery creates breathtaking views from the air, making it perfect for sightseeing and photography enthusiasts. Spring is ideal for travelers seeking comfortable conditions and the full beauty of Rara Lake’s natural landscapes.
Autumn is another excellent season for visiting Rara Lake by helicopter. After the monsoon, the air is crisp and dry, providing maximum visibility of the lake, surrounding forests, and snow-capped Himalayan peaks. The clear skies and vibrant landscapes make it the perfect time for helicopter sightseeing and capturing stunning photographs. Travelers during autumn can enjoy safe flights and uninterrupted views of Rara Lake’s pristine beauty.
The monsoon season is generally not recommended for Rara Lake helicopter tours. Heavy rains, low clouds, and unpredictable weather can limit visibility and affect flight safety. Flying during this period is less enjoyable, as sudden weather changes may disrupt the tour experience. To ensure a safe and scenic journey, it is best to avoid scheduling your helicopter tour during the monsoon months.
Photographers and Nature Lovers: With unmatched aerial views of the lake, forests, and Himalayan peaks, this tour is ideal for nature enthusiasts and photographers looking for breathtaking landscapes and unique photo opportunities.

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!
