Detail Itinerary

The Mardi Himal Helicopter Tour begins and ends in Pokhara. The helicopter tour takes around an hour in the Annapurna area of the Himalayas. Early in the morning, the representative or guide will pick you up from the hotel. You join the bus to the Pokhara airport after your agent arrives at the hotel. When you get to the airport, you finish the required steps and enter the helicopter. The trips are typically conducted in the early morning because the weather is ideal and there are fewer possibilities of unfavorable climatic conditions at this time. You have a great chance of seeing beautiful landscapes because of the open, blue skies and unhindered vistas.

Your helicopter takes off after you board it and departs from the airport. It takes only a few minutes to fly to Mardi Himal Base Camp—the journey only lasts 15 to 20 minutes. You are encircled by breathtaking vistas of nature as you soar through the air. Flying from Pokhara to Mardi Base, you can see the stunning Pokhara Valley from above before flying over the Annapurna range and arriving close to Mardi Himal Base Camp. As you gaze down, you can also see the stunning Phewa Lake and the verdant slopes. After some time in the air, a number of snow-capped mountains appear in view. It's a beautiful journey to Mardi Base Camp. Additionally, you can have a glance over the nearby village, Annapurna Sanctuary, and trekking routes.

Your helicopter eventually lands at Mardi Himal Base Camp after a few minutes. A 30-minute land period is provided for base camp exploration and a brunch. You are greeted by the magnificent views of the snow-capped summits as you touch down at the foot. Early morning makes the surroundings appear clear, fresh, and less polluted. You get to see a number of mountains, including Mardi Himal, Machhapuchre, Himchuli, and Annapurna South. Explore the surrounding area, take some pictures or videos for memories, and enjoy breakfast or a cup of tea while admiring the scenery of the mountains.

You will board the helicopter and travel back to Pokhara after a brief period of relaxation. Your guide will be waiting for you outside the terminal when you exit the airport in Pokhara. They take you up from there and end your Mardi Himal Helicopter Tour by dropping you off at your hotel or lodge.
