Day 1 Arrival in Kathmandu (1350m)
Day 2 Annapurna Base Camp (4130m) by Helicopter
This is the main highlight of the entire tour. There are two phases to the Annapurna Base Camp Helicopter flight, which you can choose from. The Annapurna Base Camp helicopter tour from Kathmandu starts from Kathmandu then heads directly to Annapurna Base Camp through helicopter. If you take the first option, you can head to ABC directly from Kathmandu, which takes about one and a half hours. The second phase is from Pokhara to ABC, where the flight begins from Pokhara and heads to ABC. If you are to choose the second option, then you need to take a domestic flight to Pokhara from Kathmandu, which will take one hour. Then from Pokhara, the helicopter tour begins and takes about 25 minutes to reach there.
Upon reaching Annapurna Base Camp, you will be dropped off to the nearest tea house. There, you can enjoy the majestic views of the Annapurna Massif, Himchuli and Mt. Macchapuchrey. After having breakfast at the tea house while enjoying the views, you will be picked by the helicopter at about 15 to 20 minutes to head back to where you boarded from either Pokhara or Kathmandu.
