\u00f3 uraut<\/a> Helicopter Tour is a 1-day scenic helicopter flight from Nepalgunj to Rara Lake (3,040m), Nepal's largest and most beautiful alpine lake. The lake is 5km long and 3km wide, surrounded by pristine pine, spruce, and juniper forest, and set against a backdrop of snow-capped peaks. The helicopter lands at Rara for 1.5 hours, allowing time for lakeside exploration, photography, and optional short hikes. The lake is inside Rara National Park, which protects 51 species of mammals including musk deer, Himalayan black bear, and the rare red panda. The tour is the most efficient way to visit Rara Lake without the 9-day trekking commitment or the rough jeep journey.<\/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\n1.5 hours at Rara Lake\nPicnic lunch at the lake\nRara National Park entry permit","cost_excludes":"Personal expenses\nTips for pilot and crew\nTravel insurance\nCosts from weather-related delays or cancellations\nAdditional landing time beyond itinerary\nFlight Kathmandu to Nepalgunj (can be arranged separately)","itineraries":[{"title":"Rara Heli Tour & Return to Nepalgunj","content":"\n
