      Annapurna Base Camp Helicopter Tour

      Annapurna Base Camp Helicopter Tour was an absolutely breathtaking experience. From the moment we took off, the views were simply stunning, with the snow-capped peaks of the Himalayas stretching out before us. The flight itself was smooth and comfortable, and the pilot was both professional and knowledgeable, pointing out various landmarks and answering all of our queries. When we landed at the base camp, we had plenty of time to explore and take in the incredible scenery. The entire tour was well-organized and felt very safe, with excellent communication. I was very impressed by the arrangements of NTA. Stongly suggested.

      Helicopter tour of Annapurna base camp

      I traveled to Nepal with a partner in the hopes of going trekking, but due to some business, we were unable to. So, in coordination with NTA, we made the decision to spend a little amount of time enjoying the mountains. They suggested taking a helicopter tour of Annapurna base camp. For us, this package was ideal, so we decided to go ahead and accept it. The vistas of the mountains, woods, flora, and fauna were breathtaking during the whole Annapurna trek. The best short helicopter tour to Annapurna base camp was this one. Thanks, NTA and team.
