Kailash Mansarovar by Helicopter from Lucknow
Kailash Mansarovar by Helicopter from Lucknow – Easy Trip
Introduction to the Kailash Mansarovar Yatra:
So, you’ve heard of the mystical Mount Kailash and the sacred Lake Mansarovar, right? If not, buckle up—because this is one journey that combines spiritual awakening with adventure, all wrapped into one breathtaking experience.
What Makes Kailash Mansarovar Special?
Mount Kailash isn’t just any mountain—it’s considered the earthly throne of Lord Shiva. Rising to over 18,000- 21,000 feet, it has never been climbed and never will be, because it’s deemed too sacred.
Spiritual Significance in Hinduism, Buddhism, Jainism, and Bon
For Hindus, this is where Lord Shiva meditates. For Buddhists, it’s the center of the universe. Jains believe it’s where their first Tirthankara attained nirvana. Bon followers consider it their spiritual seat. This isn’t just a place—it’s the heartbeat of several ancient beliefs.
Why Choose the Kailash Mansarovar by Helicopter from Lucknow?
Let’s face it—not everyone can handle the long and arduous land route to Kailash Mansarovar. That’s where the helicopter route swoops in—literally!
Time-Saving & Comfort
Instead of spending 20+ days, the helicopter tour trims it down to about 9–12 days. Perfect if you’re short on time but not short on devotion.
Ideal for Senior Citizens and Physically Limited Devotees
Got knee pain? Can’t trek long distances? No worries. The helicopter package offers a smoother and much more comfortable experience for elders and others with physical limitations.
