What is the Kailash Mansarovar Yatra by Helicopter?
The Kailash Mansarovar Yatra by helicopter is an expedited pilgrimage to Mount Kailash and Lake Mansarovar, two of the holiest sites in Hinduism, Buddhism, Jainism, and Bon. Pilgrims typically fly from Kathmandu, Nepal, to specific points near the sites, avoiding the long overland journey.
What is the best time to go on the Yatra?
The best time is during the summer months, from May to September, as the weather is relatively stable and less harsh.
What is the duration of the Yatra?
The Yatra generally lasts around 7 to 10 days, depending on the specific itinerary and any delays.
What is the physical requirement?
The Yatra involves some physical exertion due to high-altitude locations (over 15,000 feet above sea level). Pilgrims should be in good health, and a fitness is often required before departure. Though the helicopter reduces the strain of the journey, altitude sickness can still be a concern.
Do I need to carry my own luggage?
No, most tour operators handle the luggage. You’re typically allowed only a limited amount (around 10-15 kg) due to weight restrictions in the helicopter.
How much does the Yatra cost?
The cost can vary depending on the tour operator and services provided, but the Yatra typically costs between INR 1.5 to 2.5 lakhs (or higher) per person.
What accommodations are provided?
Pilgrims are usually accommodated in basic guesthouses or tents at various points during the Yatra. While comfortable, the facilities are minimal due to the remote nature of the locations.
Can non-Hindu pilgrims participate?
Yes, the Yatra is open to people of all faiths who wish to visit the holy sites. However, it’s a deeply religious pilgrimage for Hindus, so participants should respect the religious customs.
Is the journey safe?
The helicopter journey is generally safe when conducted with reputable operators. However, it is always recommended to check the safety protocols and ensure that your operator has good safety records, as the high-altitude environment can be challenging.
Is there an age limit for the Yatra?
There is generally an age limit, with most operators allowing participants between the ages of 18 and 70. Elderly pilgrims should consult with the tour operator to ensure they are fit for the journey.
What are the packing guidelines?
Since the Yatra involves high altitudes and sometimes extreme weather conditions, pack warm clothing, light and breathable clothes for the day, toiletries, and a good pair of walking shoes. Be mindful of the luggage weight limit.
Do I need to be physically fit for the Yatra?
While the helicopter ride reduces physical exertion, you should still be in reasonably good health, particularly with regard to heart conditions or respiratory issues. There’s some walking involved at high altitudes, so being fit helps.
Can I perform the Parikrama (circumambulation) around Mount Kailash?
Some tours offer the option to perform the Parikrama on foot around Mount Kailash, which is a challenging trek (approx. 52 km), but this is usually not part of the helicopter package. For those wishing to do it, it’s recommended to check with the tour operator.
