This helicopter excursion to Annapurna base camp is perfect for persons of any age. It does not take much physical stamina and will make you save 10 to 7 days of trekking to the base camp. You will be blown away by the spectacular landscape of some of the world’s tallest mountains. It will also just be mind-blowing to have a close look at the mountains with a helicopter.
Best Time For ABC Helicopter Tour
You can fly all year long in the Annapurna Helicopter tour during daytime, however visibility should be perfect. Autumn and spring are therefore the ideal times to investigate the Annapurna by helicopter. Although the landing site will be covered in snow, winter—December through February—is ideal. The helicopter ride is not advised during the rainy season since the cloud and foggy weather affects visibility and practically makes flying impossible.
Annapurna Base Camp Helicopter tours would thus be best timed for February, March, April, May. Additional months for helicopter flying include September, October, November, and December.
