During the flight, you will get your first close views of Manaslu (8,156m) and Ganesh Himal (7,422m) Range, the rugged landscape, the mighty snow-fed rivers, terrace farms, and villages dotted all throughout the hills.

The Shamans come to the site each month to draw spiritual energy and strengthen their powers, while the locals are drawn to the site to offer prayers and offerings during times of drought. According to local legend, a prayer asking for rain has always been answered. Also at the same site, thousands are drawn to an annual festival each year during the month of October.
