EnquireThe helicopter from Pokhara follows the Modi Khola gorge into the sanctuary, a walk that takes most trekkers six days or more. Tours land for a short stop before flying back to Pokhara.
At 4,130 m (13,550 ft), the air is thin. Helicopter tours keep ground time short, and anyone who flies in directly from Kathmandu should move slowly and tell the crew about a headache or breathlessness.
Helicopters fly all year when the weather allows. The clearest months are October–May. In the June–August monsoon, early morning is usually the only clear window.
Annapurna Base Camp is at 4,130 m (13,550 ft) above sea level.
