Annapurna Base Camp Helicopter Tour
Annapurna Base Camp Helicopter Tour takes you on a remarkable trip to the “Abodes of Gods”. Perched on a high glacial basin just 40 km directly north of Pokhara. Surround by rings of The greater Himalayas which are over 7000 meters. A part of the Annapurna Himal range stretches from Manang to Kaski. This helicopter tour is a luxury way to explore the base camp's oval-shaped plateau. Nestled at an altitude of over 4,130 meters/ 13,550 feet, river networks, glaciers, icefalls, moraines, and lush woodlands are scattered with tiny villages from a different perspective.
After pickup from Pokhara, you will depart from Pokhara Airport for a 20 minute flight to Annapurna Base Camp, flying parallel to the northern Himalayan range. Whilst in the air, you will fly over small villages and contrasting landscapes.
Annapurna Base Camp is surrounded by several high mountains in the Annapurna region. It is there that you can find the deepest gorge, a conservation area, and scattered traditional local settlements.

Details Itinerary
You will be given a maximum of 25-30 minutes of time once at the Annapurna Base Camp for a tea/breakfast break, since staying at such an altitude for longer that this amount of time could pose as a serious high altitude threat.
You will soon be on your return journey, once again taking in the views of Mt. Annapurna, Mt. Dhaulagiri and several climbing peaks. You will land safely back at Pokhara Airport at the conclusion of your experience and then be dropped back to Pokhara.
