Witness awe inspiring views of the Himalayas as you fly over the Annapurna region and land at the Annapurna Base Camp on our Annapurna Base Camp Helicopter Tour!
The Annapurna Base Camp Helicopter Tour is the best way to experience the beauty and magnificence of the Annapurna region in the shortest amount of time. The Annapurna Region is the most visited region in Nepal by trekkers and tourists alike. From adventure activities in Pokhara to stunning scenery from viewpoints like Sarangkot and Poon Hill to amazing treks like Annapurna Circuit, Upper Mustang, Annapurna Base Camp and more, there are many reasons for its popularity. Despite all that it has to offer, people may still not be able to visit due to time constraints, health issues, physical limitations etc. The perfect solution to this problem is our Annapurna Base Camp Helicopter Tour.
The Annapurna Base Camp Helicopter Tour typically starts from Kathmandu, but it is possible to begin from Pokhara as well. The first part of the journey from the capital to the lakeside city presents you with your first aerial views of Nepal. Following the brief stop for refueling at Pokhara, our journey continues until we arrive at the Annapurna Base Camp (4,130m). On the way, you’ll be treated to an awe inspiring view of Annapurna, Dhaulagiri, Fishtail, Manaslu, Nilgiri, Hiunchuli and more. You’ll get to enjoy a similar panorama during your 30 min landing at the base camp. On the return journey, you will once again witness a bird’s eye view of the aforementioned peaks, as well as the world’s deepest gorge, the Kali Gandaki gorge. The tour can be concluded in Pokhara, we can end it in Kathmandu, as you prefer.

The Annapurna Base Camp Helicopter Tour can be done all year long as it is a single day tour. The actual tour takes no more than a few hours to complete, meaning as long as the weather looks good, the tour can be done in any season. However, you may certainly find some seasons to be better than others depending on your preferences.
Two seasons are recommended as the best times for the tour; spring and autumn. They are also the peak seasons for trekking and tourism in Nepal, and for good reason.
Spring (March – May) presents an immaculate combination of blooming nature and greenery with crystal clear views. The verdant hills get filled by rhododendrons, junipers and other wild flowers and the skies are clear with barely any clouds, meaning you get to enjoy some amazing views and scenery.
Similarly, autumn (September - November) is also known for offering some of the best views throughout the year. The monsoon rain washes away most of the dust and pollution for a while, meaning you get to enjoy some amazing mountain views even from the cities. This is also the most auspicious time of the year for Nepal, as major festivals like Dashain and Tihar lead to a whole month of holidays and festivities. Thus, visitors during this period get to enjoy the pleasant and festive vibes during their stay.
The Annapurna Base Camp Helicopter Tour can also be performed in winter. Winter touring can be hit and miss, as the days tend to be hazy with low visibility around the mountains. However, if you have enough time to spare, waiting for a clear day means you get to enjoy the very best views possible. Landing at the base camp will also feel extra satisfying thanks to the extra ice and snow on the peaks.
Monsoon touring is also possible, but generally not done due to various reasons. It is the off season as the unpredictable weather and random downpour can lead to poor views and a generally mediocre experience. Similar to winter touring, if you’re lucky to tour on a clear day, the views and experience will certainly be on another level though.
The Annapurna Base Camp Helicopter Tour is an easy tour that can be performed by pretty much anyone. Travelling during the tour is done via private vehicle on land, and by heli in the air. Little to no walking is involved which means this tour is as easy as can be.
The max altitude reached during the tour is at the Annapurna Base Camp (4,130m). Although we are at risk of altitude sickness at this elevation, we won’t need to be worried as we will descend after only 15-30 minutes.
Please do inform us beforehand if you have a fear of flying/heights, or some health condition that we should know about.
The Annapurna Base Camp Helicopter Tour takes you right to the foothills of the tenth highest peak in the world. The weather and temperature will change rapidly as you gain altitude, which means you need to be accordingly prepared as well. Wearing proper clothing by layering and having UV protection to combat the strong sunlight are obvious things to remember. In addition, we also recommend:
Day 01: Flight Day (Kathmandu / Pokhara – Annapurna Base Camp – KTM / PKR)
The Annapurna Base Camp Helicopter Tour begins once we pick you up from your hotel. We will head to the Tribhuwan International Airport via private transport. After all preparations are complete, we will board the heli and begin our journey. We will first fly to Pokhara, and in the process, get to enjoy the first views of typical Nepali scenery of verdant hills, twisting roads and quaint villages.
If you’re doing this heli tour from Pokhara, then you will be picked up from the Pokhara airport instead. We will have a short break here for refueling. After around 15 mins, we will continue the Annapurna Base Camp Helicopter Tour. Enjoy a spectacular bird’s eye view of Annapurna (8,091m), Dhaulagiri (8,167m), Nilgiri (7,061m), Hiunchuli (6,441m), Machhapuchhare (6,993m), Gangapurna (7,455m) and more!
The Annapurna Base Camp is situated fairly close to Pokhara, at a distance of only 30km or so as the crow flies. Trekking to there can take multiple days, but via flight, we will reach there in no time. As mentioned before, we will land at the base camp with some ground time as well. You’ll have anywhere between 15 to 30 mins to fully savor the beauty and magnificence surrounding you. Don’t forget to take some pictures as well, and have some memorable coffee or breakfast at over 4,000 meters.
Once the designated time is over, we will begin our return journey. The reason why we need to leave after only 15-30 mins is because of the altitude we are at. Trekkers slowly gain altitude over multiple days to reach the Annapurna Base Camp (4,130m). We, on the other hand, have covered a week’s worth of distance in just an hour or so. We are at risk of altitude sickness, and it can be a real threat if not taken seriously. Thus, we will leave after only a short while at ABC.
Enjoy pleasing aerial views of peaks, glaciers, ice falls, hills and valleys on the way back as well. Similar to before, we will have a brief stop at Pokhara for refueling before ending our Annapurna Base Camp Helicopter Tour in Kathmandu.
