Annapurna Base Camp Helicopter Tour

Due to the high altitude, unpredictable weather, and remote location, safety is paramount. Follow these guidelines to ensure a safe and enjoyable journey.

Altitude Sickness: Be aware of symptoms like headaches, dizziness, nausea, or shortness of breath. Inform the crew immediately if you feel unwell. It is unsafe to stay more than 30 minutes in the base camp because you have no altitude acclimatization.

Flexible Date: Allow extra days in your schedule to accommodate potential weather-related delays.

Packing Essentials: Bring warm clothing, sunglasses, sunscreen, and any personal medications. Avoid overpacking, as weight limits are strictly enforced.

Follow Pilot Instructions: Pilots are trained to assess weather conditions. Trust their judgment if they decide to delay or cancel the flight.

Stay Within Designated Areas: Do not wander off alone. The terrain can be treacherous, and weather conditions can worsen quickly.

Respect the Environment: Avoid littering and follow local guidelines to preserve the natural beauty of the area.

Communication: Ensure your phone or communication device is fully charged in case of emergencies.

Travel Insurance: Ensure your insurance covers high-altitude helicopter flights and emergency evacuations.
