Pokhara to Annapurna Base Camp Helicopter Tour — Guaranteed Landing at the Heart of the Himalayas
Land at 4,130m among Annapurna South, Hiunchuli & Machhapuchhre — a 15-20 min stop in paradise.
Not everyone has the time or energy to trek for a week to reach Annapurna Base Camp — but that dream of standing among the Himalayas is still yours. The Pokhara Annapurna Helicopter Tour makes it possible in just a few hours, offering the same breathtaking views that trekkers work days to reach. You take off from Pokhara and rise above the lush valleys, terraced hills, and glacial rivers until the world opens up to the towering peaks of Annapurna I, Machhapuchhre, and Hiunchuli.
This flight is built for travellers who want to experience the Himalayas without long trekking days. It’s a perfect choice if you’re short on time or prefer to see the base camp in comfort. With only 15–20 minutes of landing time at Annapurna Base Camp (4,130m), the risk of altitude sickness is very low — yet you’ll still feel the power of standing in one of Nepal’s most iconic mountain circles.

What You’ll See at Annapurna Base Camp
The moment you step out of the helicopter, the world opens around you in a 360° panorama of pure Himalayan glory. You are surrounded by giants — Annapurna I (8,091 m) rising like a white fortress, Annapurna South and Hiunchuli guarding its flanks, and the sharp, sacred peak of Machhapuchhre (Fishtail) cutting into the sky. Every direction you turn feels like standing in the heart of the mountains.
Down below, a small cluster of teahouses stands resilient against the cold winds. Their blue roofs and colourful prayer flags bring life to this icy amphitheatre. If you arrive early, you’ll likely see locals preparing warm tea — a gesture that makes even this remote corner of the world feel welcoming.
The morning clarity is what makes this moment unforgettable. The air is crisp, the snow sparkles, and the peaks reflect golden hues as the sun climbs higher. It’s the perfect time for photography — whether you’re capturing the helicopter resting on the snow or the reflection of Machhapuchhre in the frozen streams nearby.
