Helicopter tour from Pokhara review :

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....
