Additional Notes: 

  • In the winter season, the weather is usually very cold, and in the monsoon season, the occurrence of rainfall might hinder the experience.

    Annapurna Base Camp Helicopter Tour Safety Guidelines 

    Although it is an amazing experience to fly over the magnificent Annapurna range, safety should always come first. When planning a helicopter journey to Annapurna Base Camp, keep the following important points in mind:

    • Consult your doctor. Inform your doctor about your trip and pre-existing medical conditions to determine if it's safe for you to fly.
    • Understand weather conditions: Be aware of weather forecasts and potential cancellations due to snow, fog, or high winds. Keep 2 to 3 spare days in your schedule in case of unforeseen circumstances. 
    • Pack appropriately: Wear warm, layered clothing, sturdy hiking boots, and sunglasses. Pack water, snacks, and necessary medications in a carry-on bag.

    During the flight:

    • Follow instructions: Listen carefully to the pilot's pre-flight briefing and follow all safety regulations. This includes wearing your seatbelt and headset properly.
    • Remain seated: Do not stand up or unbuckle your seatbelt during the flight, even for quick photos. Sudden movements can destabilize the helicopter.
    • Communicate with the pilot: If you experience any discomfort or have questions, don't hesitate to inform the pilot.

The pilot kept us updated on the sights we flew over, and the flight was comfortable and pleasant. 

      We had plenty of time to explore and soak in the breathtaking natural beauty surrounding us as we landed at the base camp. Thanks to the NTA team's great communication and expertise, the tour was well-organized, and I felt comfortable and secure the entire time. I heartily urge anyone looking for an incredible experience amid the gorgeous Himalayan mountains to take on this amazing journey.

      Helicopter tour to ABC 

      I got the chance to take an NTA helicopter tour to ABC recently, and I have to say that it was an amazing experience. I contacted them via their website, and we had quick and easy communication from the start. It was amazing to see Annapurna Base Camp from a helicopter. I thought I was floating above the earth because of the breathtaking vistas. 

      Our expert pilot made sure we received the greatest possible views of the Alps. For anybody searching for an unforgettable helicopter trip in Nepal, I suggest NTA. They go above and beyond to make sure their clients have a fantastic experience and are trustworthy and competent.
