Langtang Helicopter Tour is one of the unique and exciting tour packages in Nepal. It has many things to offer. While the major attraction of this region is the dramatic Gosaikunda Lake, Langtang has amazing landscapes, thrilling weather and welcoming people. The most amazing thing being the ancient-old cultures and rituals of this region that are still continued. It is a pleasure to witness such a glorious and inviting culture still alive to this date. Besides that, the phenomenal peak of Ganesh Himal appears outstanding from almost any region around the Langtang. This mountain completes the Langtang region as one of the exceptional tourist destinations in Nepal.
Gosaikunda has 108 lakes in total. The water in these lakes remain frozen for about 6 months and then melts to feed the glistening and outrageous Trishuli river. At a glance, many of these lakes appear turquoise in color, which makes them even more attractive. There are amazing landscapes around, making this place perfect for photoshoot; in fact, famous personalities such as Miss Nepal have been posting their pictures taken around these lakes as one of their best pictures ever taken. Also, this lake is very close to the heart of Tamang people (Locals).
Tamangs believe this lake to be the abode of Hindu Gods and deities. Some of their rituals have direct link to the existence of this lake. Every year, thousands of Hindu devotees from around the country, including the locals, visit the Gosainkunda lake system to celebrate their longstanding cultures. Luckily, you may get the chance.
