Annapurna Base Camp Helicopter Landing Tour - 1 Day
1 Day
Annapurna Helicopter Sightseeing tour is focused to those travelers who loves mountain and have limited time. You will land at Annapurna Base Camp. If we could count the number of trekking routes evolving around the Annapurna Region on our fingers we are pretty sure we would need a few other pairs of hands. A region home to the rarest of flora, fauna, and wildlife, tantalizing Himalayas, stunning landscapes beyond imagination, and the rich history revolving around the region.
Annapurna Region is not only the oldest and most widely trekked areas of the nation but also home to some of the world's most exciting Himalayas like the unconquered Mt. Machhapuchhre (6,997m), Annapurna I (8,091m), Annapurna South (7,219m), Gangapurna (7,455m), Hiunchuli (6,441m) all belonging to a long list of majestic peaks which surround the region. Oh! And did we mention this all can be done in a day? Annapurna Helicopter Sightseeing Tour takes you to the base camp of Mt. Annapurna (8091m) and the display of the Himalayas is simply indescribable.
The journey to one of the most thrilling adventures can begin either from the tranquil city of Pokhara. The journey from Kathmandu heads parallel to the northern Himalayan range gradually heading east towards Annapurna Base Camp. The hustling and bustling city of Pokhara disappears beneath us and the noises fade away as we take off toward our Himalayan adventure.
The only stop on this trip will be directly at Annapurna Base Camp, once content with the aerial view of the snow capped summits. Ample time for breakfast will be provided before returning to Kathmandu where the trip ends. On the other end, the journey from Pokhara takes us north and directly towards Annapurna mastiff crossing the village and himalayas. No matter the route the Annapurna Region is perhaps one of the most enjoyable journeys one could undertake mesmerizingly beautiful in every aspect and from up above its beauty is magnified tenfold.

Review
Nepal Social is the best choice
I booked my trip through Nepalviaje (website in spanish) and from the first moment everything was perfect. Starting with Fernando that was answering really fast all our questions, when we arrive to Kathmandu the person waiting for us in the airport was absolutely fantastic, he wait over and hour for us cause it tooks a while to get out of the airport, the hotel for the first and last night is absolutely brilliant, when you arrive to the Office everything is super clear and they make you feel at home. The Trek is a experience of a lifetime, our guide Lhakpa IS the best guide ever and will not only guide you all the way to the base camp but show you things about culture and take care about every single details, lodges are always fantastic with a huge variaty of food. We made it with other girl and all of us reach EBC, Lhakpa will give you all the good advices to make it and the company will take care of everything, even the last day Basu(the manager of the company) call us to provide a helicopter service to come back to Kathmandu as the weather in Lukla was mean to be bad for a couple of days. 10/10 for this company and all the people involve on it
10/10 experience
The whole experience was brilliant. Manaslu trek. From before the trip, the nepalsocialtreks team were contactable and clear in communication. The only area I would suggest for slight improvement is advice about buying hiking spikes as we weren't informed and our guide suggested we buy it whilst we were on the trek. Otherwise no issues. Now onto the the trek itself, it was brilliant. Amazing views and scenery. The organisation was brilliant from the guides and porters. Accomodation was good, nothing fancy of course but had the essentials. Food was delicious. Our guide urken was unbelievable. One of my friends became altitude sick and had to turn back. He organised everything with porter going with my friend and bus back to Kathmandu when they were able to reach a place with roads. He was efficient and acted quickly. Urken also was very attentive to our needs and always willing to help. A very kind man. The porters were amazing as well, I am shocked at their strength but they always had a smile on their face despite understandably being knackered. I would definitely recommend the trip.
Great experience on the Annapurna Circuit!
My partner and I did a private trek on the Annapurna Circuit and had an amazing time. A huge thanks to our guide Ashut and our porter Tirtha—they were a fantastic team and took excellent care of us. Everything was handled very professionally, and we felt like we were in great hands the whole way. Ashut shared so much knowledge about Nepal and the local culture. He also monitored our health closely, ensuring we were well-prepared to make it over the Thorung La Pass safely. The food and accommodations were lovely, and our guide always made sure we got the best rooms available in the teahouses. All transport was perfectly organized and smooth. It was a wonderful, exciting trip and we’d definitely recommend trekking with these guys! We will definitly be back!
I had an incredible experience doing the Manaslu Circuit trek!! As I was the only one who had booked, they paired me with another solo girl from a different company which worked super well. Our guide Nekhil was attentive, supportive and made us feel really safe. He was clearly a very experienced guide and gave us lots of tips to manage the altitude and trekking, plus having lots of fun together along the way! Our porter Chhiring was awesome too! Not only were the views incredible, it felt so nice to be ‘looked after’ and have everything taken care of so we could just enjoy ourselves. This included by the office in Kathmandu, who were so helpful and generous in giving me an extra day in a nearby hotel and lending me some gear. I couldn’t have been happier with the experience! I would definitely recommend :))
Hey, this was awesome! The Agency made all well, and especially, Ngima Sherpa is the best guide ever! He made my experience on everest view trek special and wonderful. His heartwarming, calm and respectful behaviour let me feel welcome and my needs during trek seen. He knows a lot of trekking and the insides there in the mountains, showed me all possible in that 7 days and has my full 5-star review. Always again!
Amazing experience! We had a very loving and caring guide Narayan. Also not possible without our porters 💜💜
