The Annapurna Base Camp Heli Tour is a perfect choice for travelers with limited time who still want to experience the grandeur of the Himalayas. This scenic helicopter flight departs from Pokhara or Kathmandu, soaring above terraced hills, rhododendron forests, deep gorges, and glacial landscapes before reaching the majestic Annapurna Sanctuary.

Upon landing at Annapurna Base Camp (4,130 m), you’ll be surrounded by towering peaks including Annapurna I (8,091 m), Annapurna South, Hiunchuli, and the iconic Machhapuchhre (Fishtail). Guests enjoy free time for photography, light refreshments, and absorbing the serene alpine environment before flying back.
