About Kailash Yatra Aerial Darshan by Charter Flight

We have great news for you! If you’ve always wanted to visit the beautiful Mount Kailash and Lake Mansarovar but didn’t want to endure a long, arduous journey — or simply preferred a quicker and safer option — WOO Adventures is now offering Indian tourists a rare opportunity for an aerial darshan from an aircraft. No passport or China visa is required to witness one of the world’s holiest destinations.

Yes, you read that right! You’ll get to experience the divine beauty of Mount Kailash and Lake Mansarovar, along with the breathtaking Mountain Api, the spectacular Mount Saipal, and the majestic Mount Nampha. Seated comfortably aboard an exclusive chartered flight (a Turbo Engine Bombardier aircraft) from Nepalgunj, you’ll soar at an altitude of 27,000 feet on the Kailash Yatra by charter flight — a journey that promises to be truly unforgettable.

The best part? The entire darshan takes just about an hour. It’s a believer-friendly, stress-free experience — perfect for the elderly, families with children, and devotees with physical limitations. WOO Adventures has taken what was once a distant dream and made it beautifully accessible.

    Journey with the Kailash Yatra by charter flight

    Your journey with the Kailash Yatra by charter flight begins at 9:00 AM in Lucknow, where you will meet your fellow travellers and the friendly tour manager from WOO Adventures. From there, you’ll continue in an air-conditioned vehicle to Nepalgunj, the starting point of your aerial darshan in southern Nepal. The drive to Nepalgunj passes through the bustling town of Bahraich, before turning south and approaching the Rupariah border. Here, the immigration and security procedures will take place — first at the Indian checkpoint and then at the Nepalese checkpoint. Keep your documents ready and be prepared for some waiting time, as the immigration process may take longer than expected.

    Once we cross into Nepal, the road trip to Nepalgunj continues — a fairly scenic and engaging journey. Upon arrival, you’ll check in at the 5-star Hotel Soaltee, where accommodation is on a twin-sharing basis, giving you the perfect opportunity to bond with your travel companions.

    By evening, our representatives will provide a detailed briefing about the upcoming itinerary and share insights into the spiritual significance of Mount Kailash. You’ll have the chance to ask questions, clarify your doubts, and even hear experiences from veteran yatris. With a delicious meal and a comfortable overnight stay, Day 1 of your journey comes to a close.

    • Meals included: Veg Dinner
    • Max. Elevation: 152m
    • Distance: 190 km (Approx. 4–5 hrs drive)
    • Accommodation: Hotel Soaltee, Nepalgunj (5-star, sharing basis)

    Mountain Flight for Kailash Darshan

    You’ve been waiting for this moment, and today, the WOO Adventures team will assist you with your group transfer to Nepalgunj Airport after a light round of refreshments. As with all mountain flights, weather conditions will decide when your chartered Bombardier aircraft is cleared for take-off. In case of delays, travellers may need to wait at the airport, a modest facility with limited amenities. Once cleared by air traffic control, you’ll embark on an unforgettable one-hour spiritual journey. From your window seat, marvel at the majestic Mount Kailash in all its glory, the shimmering waters of Lake Mansarovar, and the towering Himalayan peaks including Api, Saipal, and Nampha, standing eternal like heavenly sentinels. With clear skies and a cruising altitude of 27,000 feet, the flight promises awe-inspiring, uninterrupted views from the comfort of your seat.

    After your divine darshan, the aircraft will return to Nepalgunj, where a staff member will escort you back to the hotel for a well-earned breakfast and lunch. Take this time to rest, reflect, and relive the most cherished moments of your spiritual experience. In the evening, we’ll visit one of Nepal’s most revered Hindu Shakti Peethas, Bageshwori Temple. Here, WOO Adventures will organize a special group Hawan Puja, offering you the opportunity to express gratitude and seek blessings. Later, savour a hearty, delicious vegetarian dinner before settling in for a restful night at your hotel.

    • Meals included: Veg Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner
    • Max. Elevation: 27,000 ft (8,230m)
    • Distance: Approx. 1 hr 10 mins

    Kailash Yatra by charter flight

    The time has come to return to Lucknow with your Kailash Yatra by charter flight. After breakfast, your vehicle will depart around 9:00 AM, retracing the same picturesque route back. Following the exit formalities at the border, you’ll continue the journey to Lucknow Airport with your group.

    Though the tour comes to an end, the blessings, memories, and spiritual energy from your darshan of Mount Kailash and Lake Mansarovar will stay with you for a lifetime. At WOO Adventures, we believe everyone deserves the chance to experience the divine grace of Kailash Mansarovar. This aerial darshan journey was designed to be approachable, joyful, and unforgettable — far beyond just checking off a spiritual destination.

What Travellers Say

Is this trip right for you?

  • Offering you the birthday eyes view of Mount Kailash and Lake Mansarovar, much before you land and begin your pilgrim journey. Though the operation of the flight depends on the weather, you can expect a pretty convenient experience.
  • The Bombardier aircraft with turbo engines, which are the only ones in Nepal capable of flying at 27,000 feet, are used by WOO Adventures to run these tours.
  • It's only a one-time flight, so we don't promise to offer the sighting of Kailash and Mansarovar from the plane, as it solely depends on the weather conditions.
  • All additional services are offered at an additional cost made by the groups. Also, it's a matter of availability, instead of a promise to provide you with whatever you request.
