Pathibhara Devi Dharma Tour

Overview

The Pathibhara Devi Dharma Tour by Helicopter is one of the most revered and sought-after pilgrimage experiences in Nepal. Pathibhara Devi Temple is located in the Taplejung district of eastern Nepal and is considered a "ShaktiPeetha" — a seat of divine feminine power. With Himalayan Helicopter, we bring you the most convenient, comfortable, and spiritually fulfilling way to seek the blessings of the Goddess — high above the clouds, with the majestic Himalayas as your backdrop.

The Hindu Goddess Pathibhara is regarded as the source of wealth and energy, and Hindus believe that a pilgrimage to the temple ensures the fulfillment of the devotees' wishes. The temple also holds deep significance for the indigenous Kirat people of eastern Nepal, making it a site of shared cultural and spiritual heritage.

Why Choose a Helicopter Tour?

Traveling to Pathibhara by private vehicle is challenging due to the long and bumpy road, and it takes pilgrims a great deal of time and effort to reach the temple. For the elderly, those with limited mobility, or pilgrims with tight schedules, the overland route can be physically demanding.

With Himalayan Helicopter's Pathibhara Devi Dharma Tour, you skip the exhausting journey and arrive at the sacred site rested and ready to worship — all in a matter of hours.

The Flight Experience

Departing from Kathmandu's Tribhuvan International Airport, the helicopter flies across the Himalayan foothills, revealing spectacular views of Mt. Kanchenjunga, Mt. Makalu, and the lush eastern valleys before landing near Pathibhara Temple in Taplejung district. 

Along the way, the helicopter takes you past Limbu villages and scenic valleys, and the ride treats you to a magnificent view of pristine mountains and diverse landscapes ranging from tropical forests to rocky hills and mountain ridges, along with streaming rivers and spectacular waterfalls.

At the Temple

The Pathibhara Devi Temple stands at an altitude of 3,794 metres (12,444 feet). The helicopter lands near the temple, which is just a short walk from the helipad. Pilgrims are given ample time to offer prayers, perform puja rituals, and soak in the divine atmosphere of this high-altitude shrine.

Devotees offer animal sacrifices, gold, and silver to Goddess Pathibhara as part of the traditional worship. The Sawa waterfall and the Timbung Pond near the temple are additional attractions. Nepalhelicopters
