Overview of the Tour

The Muktinath Special Tour is called “special” because it gives an incredible experience in a short amount of time. If you have just a few days in Nepal, this is a perfect option. In only four days, you will explore the mesmerizing landscapes of Pokhara, the lovely villages of Marpha, the unique town of Jomsom, and the spiritually important Muktinath.

This tour is also a great option if you are waiting for a visa for another tour, like the Mount Kailash Mansarovar trip. Over four days of this trip, you will delve into the heart of Nepal’s heritage, exploring its unique landscapes, sacred temples, and unique villages. You’ll get to see Pokhara’s beautiful lakes and temples and experience the rough yet stunning landscapes on the way to Muktinath and many more. The tour comes with comfortable stays, great hospitality, and expert guides to make your journey easy and enjoyable.

Optional Helicopter Tour

We offer an optional helicopter tour for those seeing a quicker and more luxurious way to visit Muktinath. This is perfect for those with limited time or the ones who prefer a comfortable and hassle-free experience.

We have chartered helicopters that can comfortably accommodate up to 4 passengers at a time, keeping in mind the altitude and weight restrictions. You can choose to depart directly from Kathmandu for a round trip, or if you’re looking for a shorter and more budget-friendly option, you can start from Pokhara. From Pokhara, the helicopter tour to Muktinath takes approximately 30 minutes each way.

Mustang Helicopter Tour is once in a lifetime experience. You’ll fly over lush green valleys, river valleys, and the dramatic Mustang region. You’ll also enjoy the closeup views of Annapurna, Dhaulagiri, Nilgiri, and the Fishtail mountains as well as witness the Kali Gandaki Gorge, the world’s deepest gorge, from above.

I think we should make a separate package for this “Helicopter Tour to Mustang/Muktinath” so that we can link these packages afterward.

Accommodations and Meals During the Tour

On this tour, you’ll get to spend cozy nights in Pokhara, Jomsom, and Muktinath. Each place has great hotels where you can relax in comfortable private and shared rooms with attached bathrooms, warm beds, and hot water. As for the meals, you’ll have a variety of options–something fancy or delicious Nepalese dishes.

Vehicles Used for this Tour

We provide a  Landcruiser or Scorpio Jeep for this tour, which is a seven-seater. It features comfortable seats, ensuring you will enjoy a smooth drive.

Road Conditions of Marpha-Jomsom-Muktinath

The roads are a mix of half-pitched and half-unpitched. From Marpha to Jomsom, you'll notice that most of the road is quite dusty and unpaved. However, the journey from Jomsom to Muktinath starts with an unpaved road but becomes beautifully paved further.
