West Nepal is a new and untouched destination for tourists. West Nepal, previously overlooked, is becoming increasingly popular due to affordable airfares to significant cities and effective air connections to rural regions.
Even helicopter trips to breathtaking locations like Shey Phoksundo Lake, Rara Lake, and Khaptad National Park have grown in popularity.
Helicopter Tour To Visit Shey Phoksundo Lake
Shey Phoksundo Lake, at 3,660 meters, is Dolpo's biggest lake. While hiking for 6-8 days is the most common way to view Phoksumdo Lake, a helicopter from Juphal or Nepalgunj is also an option.
