Arrival at International Lucknow Airport, Drive to Nepalgunj 05:30 Hrs from Lucknow transfer to Hotel. Overnight at Nepalgunj Hotel.

Early morning transfer to airport (10 minutes from Hotel) for flying to SIMIKOT. (Simikot is small and weather oriented airport so only early in the morning one can fly by small aircraft like Donier or Twin Otter (1 Hour Flight).  Then take a Helicopter to Hilsa. The flight takes about 25 minutes to reach Hilsa (the border town of Nepal) from Simikot. Here, you have to wait for our Chinese guide for a while, sometimes the waiting time can be a couple of hours too but we always try our best to sort it out sooner.

This boarder is not officially opened for trading purpose; so there still are some certain restrictions and rules to travel through this boarder. We can’t just travel to Purang (Taklakot) with our guide and vehicles, we should have a military escort from the border to Purang (Taklakot) and it takes some time to manage this. So, at this point of your journey, it can be delayed to cross the border. Passengers are requested to have patient and let us arrange everything smoothly. Overnight At Taklakot Hotel.

Today, you will have rest in Taklakot for acclimatization purpose. In fact, you have gained an enormous height within a day while coming in Taklakot, so before making any further journey to the higher elevation, your body should be acclimatized properly with the atmosphere in high altitude. So, it is significantly important to spend a day here for your health. Overnight At Taklakot Hotel.
