Overview

The Jomsom Helicopter Shuttle Flight by Himalayan Helicopter is the fastest and most convenient way to reach Jomsom, the administrative headquarters of the Mustang District and the main gateway to Muktinath Temple, Kagbeni, Upper Mustang, and the spectacular landscapes of the Kali Gandaki Valley.

Located at an altitude of approximately 2,743 meters (8,999 feet), Jomsom is one of Nepal's most popular mountain destinations. Instead of taking a long overland journey or relying on weather-sensitive fixed-wing flights, our private helicopter shuttle provides a direct, comfortable, and reliable transfer from Kathmandu. The flight usually takes 60 to 75 minutes, offering incredible aerial views of the Annapurna and Dhaulagiri mountain ranges, the Kali Gandaki Gorge, traditional villages, deep river valleys, and rugged Himalayan terrain.

Whether you are a pilgrim heading to Muktinath, a trekker beginning the Upper Mustang or Annapurna Circuit, a business traveler, photographer, or local resident, the Jomsom Helicopter Shuttle Flight delivers a premium travel experience with maximum flexibility.
