Frequently asked

Answers from our specialists

The things travellers ask most, answered by guides who lead these trips, not by a script.

  • Yes, with the right pacing. We arrange a one-night Pokhara acclimatisation before the morning helicopter, oxygen on standby during the darshan, and a light-pace temple round. The helicopter cuts the 3-day overland trek to a single morning, making it accessible for senior travellers.

  • Our 5N6D Muktinath helicopter darshan package from Dhaka starts at BDT 55,000 per person on twin sharing, including return DAC-KTM flights, hotels in Kathmandu and Pokhara, all transfers, the Muktinath helicopter, and Pashupatinath darshan. Oxygen on standby and senior travel assistance is included at no extra cost.

  • From October to mid-December and from March to May, the weather window is reliable with over 90 percent successful morning flights. June to September is monsoon and we do not run helicopter packages then. We hold a one-day buffer in the itinerary in case of a weather delay, and we provide a full refund for the helicopter leg if both attempts are cancelled.

  • Yes. We pre-book halal restaurants in Kathmandu Thamel and Pokhara Lakeside, including Bangladeshi-owned venues. On the Muktinath morning, breakfast at the heli-base in Pokhara and lunch on return are arranged at halal restaurants near the airport.
