Indicative: these are fares operators have published, not a quote. Your price comes from the quotes the desk collects, and nothing is charged until a specific quote is accepted. Usually flown in Airbus AS350 B3e, Bell 407GXi and Bell 412EP-class helicopters.

Muktinath is sacred to both Hindus and Buddhists, and the road journey through the Kali Gandaki gorge takes two hard days each way. The helicopter turns it into a morning, with roughly an hour on the ground for darshan at the temple and the 108 water spouts.

## Highlights

- About an hour on the ground for darshan
- Over the Kali Gandaki, the world's deepest gorge
- Avoids two days each way by road

## Good to know

- Elderly pilgrims manage this well — altitude exposure is brief
- Jomsom winds pick up strongly from late morning
- Temple is a short walk from the landing site
