Mardi Himal Helicopter Tour
Description
Overview :
The Mardi Himal Helicopter tour is a daily helicopter ride from Pokhara, offering panoramic views of the Annapurna and Dhaulagiri range. This alternative to the Annapurna Base Camp tour allows visitors to explore the mountains directly from the helicopter, making it ideal for those unable to trek the entire route.
Combining the adrenaline rush of a helicopter ride with the unparalleled splendor of the Annapurna area, a Mardi Himal Helicopter Tour departing from Pokhara is an incredible experience. This journey is a fantastic and effective way to take in the majesty of the Himalayas, whether you're an adventure seeker, nature lover, or photographer.
Major Highlights :
- Exciting Aerial Departure from Pokhara: One of Nepal's most beautiful cities, Pokhara is the starting point of your adventure. You'll be treated to breath-taking views of the Phewa Lake, the Pokhara Valley, and the surrounding Himalayan ranges as the helicopter ascends.
- Views of Annapurna Range: As the helicopter reaches higher altitudes, you will be treated to sweeping views of the Annapurna range, which includes the magnificent Annapurna South, Hiunchuli, Machapuchare (Fishtail), and Mardi Himal. Unmatched photo opportunities are provided by the airborne viewpoint, which perfectly captures the magnificence of these famous peaks.
- Overflight of Mardi Himal Base Camp: An aerial view of the Mardi Himal Base Camp is one of the tour's highlights. From a special vantage point, take in the striking scenery, ice formations, and unspoiled beauty of the Mardi Himal area. The helicopter offers a chance to really experience this Himalayan sanctuary's vastness and solitude.
- Close-up Views of Machapuchare (Fishtail): From above, Machapuchare's characteristic fishtail-shaped peak makes for an impressive picture. This holy peak, which has cultural importance in the area and is unclimbed, is seen up close during your helicopter trip.
- Optional Landing for Exploration: Depending on the exact trip package, you might be able to land in key locations, such a helipad close to Mardi Himal or other scenic spots. This offers the chance to go on quick walks or just take in the pure alpine scenery.
