Gosaikunda Helicopter Tour (Daily)’ is one of the shortest yet captivating heli-tours in Nepal. The overall tour takes approximately one and a half hours with 40 minutes of flight duration collectively. Every year, thousands of visitors prefer Gosaikunda over several different travel destinations in Nepal. This is mainly because of the religious significance of Gosaikunda Lake followed by the phenomenal mountain ranges that surround the lake. The surface of the lake extends approximately 34 acres and remains frozen most of the winter season. However, the winter season has its perks. The snow-covered surroundings makes up for a heavenly experience at Gosaikunda Lake if you happen to travel during winter. Regardless of the seasons, the Gosaikunda Lake has something unique to offer at each season. Religious Importance The origin of Gosaikunda is directly related to the epics of Hindu Mythology and ‘Samundra Manthan’(literal translation means ‘churning out the ocean‘). It is believed that the Lake was formed after Lord Shiva thrust his Trishul (Trident of Shiva) into the mountain to extract the water to cool down his stinging throat after he had swallowed the ‘Kalkut Vish‘ poison. Pilgrims hence believe that drinking water from Gosainkunda Lake has bodily benefits.
