About this experience
From the domestic terminal of the Tribhuvan International Airport in Kathmandu, the Gosaikunda Helicopter Tour in Nepal begins. Around 1 hour is required to travel from Kathmandu to Gosaikunda.
After about 15 to 17 minutes, we can reach Gosaikunda Lake, overflowing with dispersed Tamang settlements and flight beside the giants of lush, green hills.
Once at Gosaikunda in 4380 meters, a huge mountain range is right before us, we will be welcomed with a backdrop. Because in half an hour we should have reached 4,000 + m, it could lead to altitude sickness to spend longer than 30 minutes. It's doubtful, though. So we'll start visiting the place and make the most of our little time.

Itinerary and highlights
Lake Gosaikunda is a holy site in Nepal, otherwise referred to as "Gosainkunda," which is of great importance to the Hindu as well as to the Buddhists. Gosaikunda Lake in the Rasuwa district is an alpine freshwater lake situated at an elevation of 4,380m, Langtang National Park. The lake surface is about 34 acres and much of the Winter season, i.e. December to Feb, is already frozen. Winter has its benefits, however. If you're going in winter, the snow-covered atmosphere gives you a heavenly nostalgia at Gosaikunda Lake. No matter the seasons, there is something new to Gosaikunda Lake every year.
The Gosaikunda root has a direct relationship with the epics of Ramayana and Mahabharata as the Samundra Manthan lake is referred to. Hindu mythology also characterizes Gosaikunda as the Hindu deity adobe Shiva and Gauri. During Gangadashahara and the Janai Purnima.
