Annapurna Helicopter Tour from Pokhara

The Annapurna Base Camp Helicopter Tour is far less expensive in Pokhara than it is in Kathmandu. This is so that the price might vary depending on numerous things like distance and time.
Annapurna Helicopter Tour from Kathmandu
For those who would rather not drive or fly to Pokhara, an alternative is the Annapurna Base Camp Helicopter Tour from Kathmandu. Everything else remains unchanged. The tour, however, cannot be reserved on a flight-sharing basis. The Kathmandu to Annapurna Base Camp helicopter excursion is only offered as a customized charter, or private reservation.
