This experience was absolutely worth every penny! The views from the top are breathtaking and truly a highlight of the trip. What made it even better was our guide, Raj. He was incredibly kind, attentive, and stayed by our side the entire time to ensure we were comfortable and informed. If you get the chance to go, ask for Raj, he’s simply the best!. Had an amazing time along with him

Great Tour
It was a fantastic tour. My guide was Bikash. He's a great guy, and we chatted a lot during the trek. He explained everything and showed me around; it was never boring with him. I would definitely book another tour with him.

Helicopter to Annapurna base camp was the highlight!
The helicopter ride to Annapurna base camp was executed flawlessly. They picked us up from the hotel and took us to an office where we were given instructions. After that we were driven to the airport where we were given safety instructions. Then they took us to the helicopter which flew us to base camp. The flight through the city and the mountains was thrilling and wonderful. We were given 45 mins at base camp. There was no snow and the place was surprisingly warm. After taking photos and just enjoying the place, the helicopter was back to take us home. They dropped us back in the hotel. The cost of $750 was a bit high, but worth it for me because my knees make it impossible for me to make the trek.
Response from the operator: Dear Akila, Namaste and Warm Greetings from Cordial Trek! Thank you so much for your wonderful feedback and the five-star rating! We are thrilled to hear you had such a great experience during your Annapurna Base Camp Helicopter Tour with us. It was our pleasure to provide you with an unforgettable journey, and your kind words are truly cherished by our team. We hope to welcome you back for another adventure soon. Best regards, The Cordial Trek Team

Amazing experience! Don’t miss it
Definitely the highlight of my trip to Pokhara. Bad flying weather postponed the trip by a day but I was kept informed and the next day was good. I was picked up from my hotel on time. All staff were friendly and helpful. The flight was perfect. Couldn’t have asked for more. Expensive but I view it as a once in a lifetime experience not to be missed.

Helicopter Tour to Annapurna Base Camp
First of all, Rameshwar,of Cordial Trek, contacted us days before our tour and told us what we needed to bring and likely departure time. He explained that the actual departure time was weather dependent. On the morning of our flight, we got picked up as agreed and got to the airport on time ready for our departure at 8am. The weather in Ohara was hazy cloud but as we approached the mountains the weather cleared and we had great views of Fishtail and other mountains. We landed safely on snow and enjoyed 30 minutes of admiring the snow covered peaks which surrounded us. The trip back took about 20minutes. The whole tour was a memorable experience. I would recommend both the helicopter tour to Annapurna Base Camp and to go with Cordial Trek, the tour organisers.

Why this scores 61
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
From Pokhara: Annapurna Base Camp (ABC) Helicopter Landing Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Pokhara.
How much does From Pokhara: Annapurna Base Camp (ABC) Helicopter Landing Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $700 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Pokhara usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does From Pokhara: Annapurna Base Camp (ABC) Helicopter Landing Tour take?
+
Plan for about 2 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Pokhara is not rushed.
Is From Pokhara: Annapurna Base Camp (ABC) Helicopter Landing Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 61 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 8 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Pokhara, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule From Pokhara: Annapurna Base Camp (ABC) Helicopter Landing Tour?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is From Pokhara: Annapurna Base Camp (ABC) Helicopter Landing Tour suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book From Pokhara: Annapurna Base Camp (ABC) Helicopter Landing Tour?
+
Around 3 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Pokhara can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Pokhara and add a light layer if any part of the 2-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does From Pokhara: Annapurna Base Camp (ABC) Helicopter Landing Tour start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Pokhara within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Pokhara?
+
On Outty we rank every Pokhara experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Ghorepani - Poon Hill Trek 3N-4D, Annapurna Base Camp Trek -8 days, Annapurna Base Camp Treks. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Pokhara?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Pokhara?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
