    Kailash Mansarovar Yatra by Helicopter from Lucknow

    The Kailash Mansarovar Yatra is considered one of the most revered pilgrimage journeys in the world, renowned for its demanding physical challenges. Pilgrims must endure extreme altitudes, reaching up to 19,500 feet, and cope with harsh environmental conditions. For those seeking a more convenient and accessible way to undertake this sacred journey, the helicopter yatra from Lucknow offers a perfect solution. This option is especially ideal for older adults or individuals who may find long road travel difficult. The nine-day helicopter tour efficiently takes pilgrims to the Nepal-China border by air, followed by short, comfortable drives to the revered Mount Kailash and Lake Mansarovar.
