Questions and answers
How high is Kyanjin Gompa?
About 3,870 m.
How long is the tour?
Two to three hours in the air plus ground time; about 5 hours door-to-door.
Is trekking needed?
No. The helicopter lands in the village.
What is the best season?
Spring and autumn.
Langtang is the closest high-mountain valley to Kathmandu, but the road and trail take days. The helicopter flies north over foothills and river gorges and lands at Kyanjin Gompa, a monastery village beneath Langtang Lirung (7,227 m).
The valley has yak pastures, Tamang culture and glaciers, and a short ground stop is enough for a monastery visit and photographs.
