The 1-Day Annapurna Base Camp Helicopter Tour with Landing is the quickest, most luxurious way to experience the majestic heart of the Annapurna Sanctuary directly from Pokhara. Departing from Pokhara Airport aboard a modern Airbus H125 / Eurocopter AS350 B3e helicopter, the flight soars over Phewa Lake, Sarangkot, and the deep Modi Khola river canyon lined with terraced Gurung settlements like Chomrong and Ghandruk. Landing directly on the helipad at Annapurna Base Camp (4,130 m / 13,550 ft), you will step out into a breathtaking 360-degree amphitheater of snow-capped giants—including the sheer 8,091 m south face of Annapurna I, Machhapuchhre (Fishtail), Annapurna South, and Hiunchuli. Enjoy 30 to 45 minutes on the ground for photography, exploration, and a warm cup of Himalayan tea before the panoramic flight back to Pokhara.
Requires Annapurna Conservation Area Project (ACAP) Permit, Trekkers' Information Management System (TIMS) Card, and Civil Aviation Authority of Nepal (CAAN) Airport Passenger Service charges.
