Best Time for Helicopter Tour to Mardi Base Camp
Autumn (September to November) and spring (March to May) are often the finest seasons for a helicopter journey to Mardi Himal. The following are the reasons why certain seasons are perfect:
Autumn (September to November):
For good reason, this is Nepal's busiest trekking season. There are usually clear skies and breathtaking views of the Annapurna Range and adjacent landscapes when the weather is calm and there is little to no rainfall.
Temperature ranges
Daytime temperatures: 15°C to 20°C (59°F to 68°F)
Nighttime temperatures: 5°C to 10°C (41°F to 50°F)
Spring (March to May):
Another fantastic time to take this helicopter flight is in the spring. It's pleasant to spend time outside and appreciate the environment because of the moderate and comfortable weather. The mountains are easily visible because of the often clear skies. However, because of pre-monsoon winds, spring might be a little bit dustier than fall.
Temperature ranges
Daytime temperatures: 17°C to 22°C (62°F to 72°F)
Nighttime temperatures: 0°C to 5°C (32°F to 41°F)
Additional Seasons
Winter season (December to February): The Mardi Himal is seen from a different angle during this time of year when the valleys are frozen and the mountains are covered with snow. Even if the views are breathtaking, you should be prepared for perhaps greater peaks and lower temperatures.
Monsoon season (June to August): This season is generally not recommended for helicopter tours due to the high possibility of heavy rain, low visibility, and potential flight cancellations.
