The Significance of Gosaikunda Lake

Gosaikunda is a pristine lake located in the Langtang National Park, about 75 kilometres north of Kathmandu in Nepal’s Rasuwa District. This high-altitude lake is a holy site for Hindus and Buddhists. Pilgrims believed to be the abode of Lord Shiva and the goddess Gauri.

Hindu mythology says that Lord Shiva created Gosaikunda Lake by hitting the mountain with his trident in search of water to soothe his throat after taking the Halahala poison from the Samudra Manthan (Churning of the Ocean). The water that came out formed the lake, which has been believed to be a holy site and the place of worship of Lord Shiva. Many pilgrims come to the lake to wash away their sins, especially during Janai Purnima.

The main festival at Gosaikunda Lake is the Janai Purnima Festival (also called Gosaikunda Jatra/Mela) in August (full moon). During this festive time, thousands of Hindu, Buddhist, and shamanic pilgrims visit here to perform rituals and take holy baths. It is believed that taking a bath in the sacred waters washes away sins and renews spiritual energy. Many tantric gurus also visit the lake to gain spiritual power and blessings.

Why Choose a Helicopter Experience?

• Scenic Reach: A helicopter shows you amazing views of mountains, lakes, and valleys that you cannot reach by walking or driving. You get a fresh and beautiful view of places that stay hidden during a normal trek.
• Time Efficiency: If you reach the Gosaikunda by hiking, it takes 3-4 days. And every day you need to hike for 5-6 hours. But in this luxury Gosaikunda Helicopter tour, you can visit this holy lake in just 20 minutes of ride. It helps to save your precious time and saves the energy that you need for walking during hiking.
• Privacy & Exclusivity: There will be limited seats( around 5) for passengers which means you can have privacy, peace and a very comfortable trip.
• Photographic Opportunities: A helicopter gives you 360° aerial views and angles you cannot get from the ground. It can even hover close to lakes or peaks, helping you capture stunning and dramatic photos.
• Safety & Comfort: Professional pilots fly the helicopter with real-time weather checks and strong safety rules. You travel smoothly without worrying about rough trails or risky mountain roads.
• Avoid Altitude Sickness: The Gosaikunda trail is steep, and hiking can quickly raise your altitude, which may lead to altitude sickness(AMS). But in this short helicopter journey, you will reach the lake safely, and you don’t have to worry about AMS.
