Gosainkunda Helicopter Tour

The Gosainkunda helicopter tour is the quickest way to reach the Hindu and Buddhist sacred lakes. Gosaikunda Lake is located in Nepal's Langtang region, also known as the Valley of Glaciers and the Valley of Glaciers Lake, because the region contains over 108 lakes spread across 4 square kilometers. There are two stories about Gosaikunda Lake and how it formed. One is tied to mythology, since it is said that Lord Shiva struck his Trishul (trident) into the ground of the Langtang mountains to remove his burning sensation in the throat, resulting in the Gosaikunda lake.

The Samudra Manthan caused the burning, and a halhal poison was produced, which he consumed. The Scientific Reason is that the lake was produced by the melting glaciers of Langtang and its surrounding hills. Regardless of the reason, the lake is a once-in-a-lifetime destination.

The lake is not only religious and is widely explored, but  it is well-known for its stunning mountain vistas of Langtang Lirung, Ganesh Himal, Manaslu, Langtang Ri, and many other nearby peaks. The lake's water is so pure that people think that taking a bath in it cleanses our souls and makes us pure.
