Upon landing at Annapurna Base Camp, you'll have about 15-30 minutes to admire the breathtaking views of the surrounding snow-covered peaks. During this helicopter tour, you’ll also have the opportunity to observe the rich culture of the Gurung, Magar, and Sherpa communities in the region.

Annapurna Base Camp Helicopter Tour from Pokhara

You can take a helicopter tour to Annapurna Base Camp from either Kathmandu or Pokhara. Flying from Pokhara is often more cost-effective compared to Kathmandu. While flights from Kathmandu are more expensive, they also offer spectacular views of the Manaslu, Ganesh Himal, and Langtang ranges.

Pokhara, the starting point for the Annapurna Base Camp trek, is a picturesque city surrounded by lakes, lush hills, and snow-covered mountains. As the helicopter ascends, you’ll witness a beautiful transition from urban landscapes to rugged Himalayan terrain, offering a diverse and stunning aerial experience.

During the flight from Pokhara, you'll glide over serene lakes like Phewa, Begnas, and Rupa, and marvel at the clear waters of the Seti River winding through gorges adorned with suspension bridges and colorful prayer flags.
