The Annapurna Base Camp Heli Trek is a perfect blend of classic Himalayan trekking and a scenic helicopter return, designed for travelers who want the full Annapurna Base Camp experience without retracing the same trail on foot.

This journey takes you deep into the Annapurna Sanctuary through forests, rivers, villages, and high alpine landscapes before reaching Annapurna Base Camp (4,130 m). Instead of walking back down for days, you’ll board a helicopter from ABC to Pokhara, enjoying unforgettable aerial views of Nepal’s most dramatic mountain amphitheater.

Operated by Destination Kathmandu, this trek is ideal for those with limited time, families, or trekkers seeking a comfortable yet adventurous Himalayan experience.

The journey begins in Kathmandu, followed by travel to Pokhara, the gateway to the Annapurna region. The trek starts from the lower Annapurna foothills and gradually ascends through villages, forests, and alpine terrain.

You will pass through Ulleri, Ghorepani, Chuile, Sinuwa, Deurali, and Machhapuchhre Base Camp before reaching Annapurna Base Camp. After soaking in the dramatic 360-degree mountain views, you’ll return by helicopter to Pokhara — a truly rewarding finale.
