Langtang Helicopter Sightseeing Tour
2 hrs 15 min
Langtang Helicopter Tour is a trip to the undisturbed region of Langtang tucked away peacefully in the majestic folds of the Langtang Himalayan Range. Home to a diverse cast of floras and faunas, the virgin trail diving through authentic ethnic hamlets displays a way of life that has been passed down from generation to generation, the tranquil unspoiled beauty of the region and the tranquility of Gosainkunda Lake. The mesmerizing grandeur of Annapurna I (8,091m), Shishapangma (8,013m), Langtang Lirung (7,227m), Dorje Lakpa (6,996m), Gaurishankar (7,134m), Ganesh Himal (7,422m), Langshisha Ri (7,134m), Yala Peak (5,500m) with their glistening peak and enchanting beauty is perhaps the front-runner amongst the natural delicacies the region has to offer. Removing the burden of having to trek days to just get a glimpse of the mountain tops the Langtang Helicopter Sightseeing tour is perhaps the best way to experience the breathtaking beauty of the Langtang region.
The journey begins from Kathmandu heading north chasing the striking Langtang Himalayan Range right to the heart of the region. The flight takes us over the tranquil Gosainkunda Lake with its icy shores and sparkling waters before heading towards the famous Kyanjin Gompa which is the only stop we take on this entire trip. We feast on a heavenly Himalayan breakfast in the company of the world's tallest mountains before once again heading back the Kathmandu. The four-hour journey is an excellent chance to witness the enthralling beauty of Langtang which to date has been preserved away from the trappings of modern society. Uncrowded trails, glacial lakes, captivating Himalayas, and lush green forests filled with rhododendron blooming in variable shades of red and pink all guided by the sea of prayer flags and stone cairns that adorn the pathways. The Langtang helicopter sightseeing tour has a little bit of everything for everyone.

Review
Ghorepani Poonhill Trek 5 Days from Pokhara
The best blooming time of Rhododendron flower with perfect sunrise in poonhill
Fantastic experience, highly recommended and expert service throughout
My two sons (age 25 and 27) and I had the most unbelievable, unforgettable and amazing trek, led by our fantastic guide Bishnu, supported by porters Narayan and Suman. Booking was really easy, with flexibility of starting dates. Any changes to itinerary were always discussed and agreed, ensuring our satisfaction. Bishnu ensured our safety at all times and worked tirelessly to ensure we had everything we needed to stay well and complete the challenging Lake and Thorong Pass without any problems. We would definitely recommend using this company; everything was perfect.
Island Peak expedition
Nepal Social Treks was the most professional company I have travelled with. The airport pickup was smooth, followed by a nice stay at their hotel in Kathmandu. A day trip around Kathmandu was planned and despite being cut short, it was a very enjoyable tour. Pasang Sherpa, the trekking guide for my trip was a highly experienced guide and mountaineer and gave me an authentic Nepalese experience as we walked through the Himalayas. When it came time to summit Island Peak, I had absolute confidence in his ability to keep me safe at all times, and he led the expedition at my pace. As an inexperienced climber, Pasang made sure I had all the required skills before going onto the mountain. The transition from trekking to life back in Kathmandu was easy, and Basu and the team from Nepal Social Treks made sure I had a comfortable and enjoyable few days prior to leaving Nepal. I would recommend anyone thinking of trekking or mountaineering in Nepal to book with Nepal Social Treks as they will tailor the trip to your needs and you will be treated incredibly well for the entire trip.
I had an incredible experience doing the Manaslu Circuit trek!! As I was the only one who had booked, they paired me with another solo girl from a different company which worked super well. Our guide Nekhil was attentive, supportive and made us feel really safe. He was clearly a very experienced guide and gave us lots of tips to manage the altitude and trekking, plus having lots of fun together along the way! Our porter Chhiring was awesome too! Not only were the views incredible, it felt so nice to be ‘looked after’ and have everything taken care of so we could just enjoy ourselves. This included by the office in Kathmandu, who were so helpful and generous in giving me an extra day in a nearby hotel and lending me some gear. I couldn’t have been happier with the experience! I would definitely recommend :))
Hey, this was awesome! The Agency made all well, and especially, Ngima Sherpa is the best guide ever! He made my experience on everest view trek special and wonderful. His heartwarming, calm and respectful behaviour let me feel welcome and my needs during trek seen. He knows a lot of trekking and the insides there in the mountains, showed me all possible in that 7 days and has my full 5-star review. Always again!
Amazing experience! We had a very loving and caring guide Narayan. Also not possible without our porters 💜💜
