Fly Above
the Himalayas

There is no perspective quite like the one from a helicopter cockpit as you drift past an 8,000-meter peak. Annapurna Helicopters offers curated sightseeing flights that condense a 10-day trek into a breathtaking morning experience. Designed for those who seek luxury, have limited time, or simply want to witness the earth's greatest heights, our tours provide guaranteed window seats for every passenger.

Our most popular route takes you deep into the Annapurna Sanctuary, where we land at 4,130m, surrounded by a 360-degree wall of snow-capped legends. For those looking further east, our Everest Joyrides offer a stunning passage over the Khumbu Glacier and the iconic "Hillary Step." Every flight is a masterclass in mountain aviation, guided by pilots who know these peaks by heart.

Signature Sightseeing Experiences:

• Annapurna Base Camp (ABC) Tour: Depart from the lakeside city of Pokhara and fly directly into the heart of the Annapurna range. Witness Mt. Machhapuchhre (Fishtail) and Annapurna I up close with a landing at the base camp.

• Mardi Himal High-Altitude Joyride: A newer, quieter route that offers the most dramatic, "face-to-face" views of Mt. Fishtail and the rolling hills of the Gandaki province.

• Everest Base Camp Overfly: Witness the roof of the world. This tour from Kathmandu provides a panoramic sweep of Everest, Lhotse, and Ama Dablam.

• Upper Mustang "Forbidden Kingdom" Flight: Cross the Himalayas into the desert-like landscapes of Lo Manthang, seeing ancient caves and red cliffs from the air.
