The Kathmandu Sightseeing Helicopter Tour will set off at Tribhuvan International Airport, and in a flash, you are above the busy Kathmandu city and have a different view of the valley. As the helicopter rises, you will observe the city's complex structure, a combination of old architecture and new infrastructure. Take off is followed by a panoramic view of Kathmandu Durbar Square, a historic location featuring numerous palaces, temples, and courtyards that showcase Nepalese artistry. At an elevated point, you can better appreciate the meticulous carvings and the old-fashioned courtyards, which provide a complete view of the city's rich cultural heritage.
The helicopter then flies to Pashupatinath Temple, one of the most important Hindu temples in Nepal. The temple complex and the Bagmati River, which meanders along the complex, can be viewed from above. The high-angle view offers an exceptional glimpse of the golden roofs of the temple, pagodas, and the religious practices being conducted along the riverbanks. The tour then proceeds to the Bouddhanath Stupa, one of the largest Buddhist stupas in the world. The striking eyes of the Buddha on the circular stupa are very conspicuous above, and, with the colorful monasteries and busy local streets surrounding it, the composition of the aerial view is amazing.
The airplane then rises to Swayambhunath (Monkey Temple), which is located on a hill with forested slopes. Kathmandu Valley is laid out all beneath you as you view it through the helicopter, with the golden spire of the stupa emerging out of the greenery. Lastly, on a clear day, the helicopter offers a glimpse of the Himalayan ranges, including the Langtang Himal, Ganesh Himal, and Dorje Lakpa peaks. Once these beautiful views are absorbed, the helicopter then softly lands back at Tribhuvan International Airport, in a tour that is just the right combination of culture, natural beauty and luxury.
The tour begins with convenient hotel pickup within the Kathmandu Valley. A personal luxury car ensures a hassle-free and comfortable ride to Tribhuvan International Airport, setting the stage for a smooth journey. As the guests are taking the short ride, they can relax and look forward to the aerial adventure.
Once at the airport, passengers complete the check-in procedure, which involves confirming their booking information and undergoing security measures. A short safety briefing and flight instructions are provided to the guests. Then you are flying in a quick and well-equipped helicopter of the present day, which is comfortable and visually appealing.
The helicopter then flies off and goes to Kathmandu Durbar Square, where the historic palaces, temples and open courtyards can be seen in an unparalleled view. The overhead shot brings out the elaborate design, multi-coloured roofs and the busy traffic of the square. This segment will be perfect when the photographer and culture extremists are involved in getting beautiful aerial pictures.
The helicopter then flies above the Pashupatinath Temple, where you can observe the golden roofs, pagodas, and the holy Bagmati River.

Then you take off over the Bouddhanath Stupa, one of the largest stupas in Nepal. Viewing the picture above, one would notice the circular structure, the eyes of Buddha and the monasteries around it in their splendor. The viewpoint taken is an aerial view, enabling you to not only enjoy the spiritual nature but also appreciate the local vibrancy surrounding the stupa.
The tour proceeds to Swayambhunath, which is situated on a hill. The stupa itself is composed of a golden spire, which the helicopter shot reveals above the Kathmandu Valley, and is surrounded by trees and urban areas. The high perspective views the importance of the temple as well as the breathtaking panorama of the valley below, and this has made it an ideal photo shoot location.
On the way back, the helicopter passes through lush green hills and offers scenic views of the Himalayan mountains, including the Langtang Himal, Ganesh Himal, and Dorje Lakpa mountains on a clear day. Once these amazing sceneries have been seen, the helicopter will bring the individuals back to Tribhuvan International Airport. Here, they are driven by a personal vehicle back to their hotel, thus ending the tour with memorable experiences of Kathmandu above the sky.
