\uadf8\ub9cc\ud07c Muktinath<\/a> Helicopter Tour is a 1-day pilgrimage helicopter flight from Pokhara<\/a> to the sacred Muktinath temple (3,800m) in the Mustang<\/a> region. Muktinath is one of the most sacred pilgrimage sites in the Himalaya, revered by both Hindus (as a Vishnu temple) and Buddhists (as a manifestation of Avalokiteshvara). The temple features 108 sacred water spouts where pilgrims bathe for purification, and an eternal flame that burns natural gas alongside water - a unique geological wonder. The helicopter flight takes 4 hours round trip with 1 hour at the temple for puja (worship), darshan (sacred viewing), and bathing in the 108 spouts. The tour is designed for pilgrims, especially senior citizens and those with limited time, who want to visit Muktinath without the long trek or jeep ride.<\/p>\n","cost_includes":"Sharing helicopter flight as per itinerary\nAll helicopter permits and airport taxes\nExperienced CAAN-licensed pilot and ground crew\nOxygen cylinder and first-aid kit on board\nHotel pickup and drop in private vehicle\nComplimentary breakfast or champagne at viewpoint where applicable\nAll government and local taxes\n1 hour at Muktinath temple for puja and darshan\nPuja arrangements on request\nLight refreshments","cost_excludes":"Personal expenses\nTips for pilot and crew\nTravel insurance\nCosts from weather-related delays or cancellations\nAdditional landing time beyond itinerary","itineraries":[{"title":"Muktinath Heli Tour & Return to Pokhara","content":"\n
