Mustang helicopter tour offers panoramic views of the Himalayas and natural beauties of Nepal.

Beyond the Annapurna massif and bordered on three sides by Tibet lies the ancient Kingdom of Lo, better known as Mustang. Upper Mustang is the last of the untouched and ageless lands in the Himalaya and here you will find Lo-Manathang- the only walled city in Nepal.

Lying north of Kagbeni and beyond the Annapurna massif, Upper Mustang resembles the Tibetan plateau with its yellow and grey rolling hills, which were eroded by violent winds. The name Mustang refers to the arid Tibet-like region at the north end of the Kali Gandaki, known to the locals as Lo. Upper Mustang is the last of the untouched and ageless lands in the Himalayas. The capital of Lo is Manthang, which, in Tibetan means “plains of aspiration”.

Mustang Helicopter flight starts from Kathmandu late in the afternoon and lands in Pokhara. You can enjoy watching Macchapuchhre, the famous fish-tail peak, Dhaulagiri, Tukuche Peak and many other mountains.
