Just don’t see the Himalayas from a distance but step in and feel it. Annapurna base camp is conical valley surround in all 360 degree by majestic snow peaks.Annapurna base camp is a valley surrounded by loftiest snow peaks including the 10th highest in the world, the Annapurna I (8,091 m). The one hour helicopter flight flies over the Modi River valley draining the glacier from the Annapurna base camp. The aerial view of Rhododendron forests, cascading waterfalls, villages and farming terraces is brilliant. The flights passes through the valley wedged between Annapurna South and Mt Fishtail to the Annapurna base camp at 4,200 m. You will have more than 15 mints to walk around base camp, take pictures and just contemplate one of the most amazing Himalayan valleys.
Heli tour of Annapurna base camp has been halted at the mean time for environmental reasons as it disturbed the tranquility of the popular trek. The less explored Kori Danda heli tour is the best alternative for those willing to step in alpine Himalayan territory. Kori danda at 3,800 m is overlooking the snow peaks of Annapurna range. While touching the ground above the clouds is surreal, the flight itself is a brilliant way of Himalayan sightseeing. This 30 minutes heli tour costs only USD 220 / person or USD 860 if chartered. The flight can fit four people at a time.

One of the memorable highlights of our recent visit to Nepal was an hour-long helicopter trip from Pokhara to the Annapurna Base Camp (ABC). ABC, which is at an elevation of .... meters and which used to be previously accessible only after an arduous week-long trip from Pokhara, is now barely a 15-minute helicopter ride away. We thoroughly enjoyed the heli-ride as well as the half-an-hour sojourn at the ABC, with its 360-degree view of imposing snow-capped mountains all around. Will cherish the experience for a long time to come...
I was connected to Rabi and have absolutely no regrets. He is incredibly knowledgeable about all things Nepal whether its trekking or food. I told him of wanting to see the Himalayas up close and he told me about the helicopter tour where you get to actually land at Annapurna Base Camp. Without skipping a beat, he booked everything for me including a car to pick me up. All I had to do was actually show up. And wow what an experience! To see the Himalayas up close to you was amazing....
