Highlights:

The helicopter flight will take you towards the Helambu Valley, an enchanting locale in the midst of the seraphic and virgin splendour of the mountains. The neighbourhood essentially belongs to the Sherpas, a race of mountain people better Known as the "Tigers of the Snows".

The landing site falls in the sedate premises of the Tarkeyghyang Monastery. Here in a fragile and tranquil environment that abides all around, you will be able to see the Sherpa settlement that fringe the monastery itself. After a few minutes from take off, the landscape of the Valley of Kathmandu changes almost dramatically into alpine country. The transformation is so immediate to be believable. The Langtang Valley is also mostly inhabited by the Sherpas. The valley's pristine purity is till intact and unmarred by the crowded modern world; The Langtang Range of mountains will be gently dominating you. This flight may instigate you, in future, to come for a trek into the Langtang National Park famous, among other things, for the endangered Himalayan Red Panda, the Yak Cheese and memorable for its little markets and holy monasteries.
