Kailash Tour by Helicopter is the best and most convenient way to visit this spectacular mountain in shot time period.

According to Hindu mythology, Mt. Kailash is the sacred adobe of Supreme Lord Shiva like other Hindus god and Shiva character is always on apex. Hindu believes that the visit to Kailash is to attain release from the clutches of ignorance & delusion of life. Likewise, Jain calls the mountain Astapada and believe it to the place of Rishaba and Ban calls it the ountain of Tise and believe it to the adobe of Sky Goddess- Sipaimen.

The scenic trip in chartered helicopter covers the major part of the Mt. Kailash Trip by Helicopter package.
