Flight Itinerary

06:00:00 - 06:30:00
Pokhara to Domestic Airport
An early morning start: enjoy breakfast, then we'll escort you directly to Pokhara Airport to begin the next chapter of your journey. The morning air is crisp, and anticipation builds as the Himalayan peaks await.
06:30:00 - 07:00:00
Flight Preparation
After check-in, weight balance, and paperwork. After a safety briefing and reporting by the helicopter operator officer, you’ll be guided to the helipad. The helicopter awaits liftoff, soaring over the mirror-like Fewa Lake for a stunning view of Pokhara, then chasing the Seti River deep into the mountain foothills.
07:00:00 - 07:30:00
Ascents to Himalayas
As the heli rises, the world opens up. The Modi Khola river becomes our guide, leading us north as the beautiful Pokhara Valley stretches out to the horizon. You’ll fly over the different old traditional villages like Gandruk, Chomrong, and Deurali, getting the top-down view of the trail, river, and Nepal’s national flower, the rhododendron forests. The landscape rapidly changes from subtropical forest to dense forest and then to rugged cliffs. Soon, the horizon fills with Machhapuchhre (Fishtail), Annapurna South, Hiunchuli, and Dhaulagiri. With every moment, the Himalayas expand, growing more immense and majestic until they fill the entire sky.
07:30:00 - 08:00:00
Annapurna Base Camp
Step out into the heart of the mountains. The base camp is surrounded by towering peaks on all sides—a natural amphitheater of ice and rock. An ABC—here you’ll have around 15-25 minutes on the ground to explore (walk gently and avoid strenuous activity), take photographs (surrounded by massive peaks is unforgettable), and visit tea houses (time for a quick warm cup of tea or coffee) amidst breathtaking views.
08:00:00 - 08:30:00
Return Flight to Pokhara
With hearts full of mountain magic, we begin our descent. Glaciers give way to terraced farms and sleepy villages, a beautiful reversal until we're gently back in Pokhara's embrace.
08:30:00 - 09:00:00
Arrival & Hotel Transfer
Land back in Pokhara, where a vehicle will transfer you to your hotel. The entire adventure finishes in just a few hours, leaving the rest of your day free—but with memories that will last forever.
