What is the best time for the Annapurna  Helicopter Tour?

The Annapurna Base Camp Helicopter Tour is available year-round, but the experience varies greatly with each season. Spring (February to mid-May) is widely considered the best time, offering crisp mountain views, mild temperatures, and a snowy landscape that makes the base camp especially scenic. Morning temperatures hover around 3–5°C, so warm clothing is essential.

Autumn (September to mid-November) is another ideal season, with clear skies, vibrant landscapes, and snow-draped peaks. It’s also a good time for wildlife sightings, though it’s the busiest period, so early booking is recommended.

Winter (December to February) brings bitter cold and frequent snowfall, which can make flying conditions unpredictable. However, for those prepared for harsh weather, the panoramic mountain views are truly rewarding. Monsoon (July to August) is the most challenging season due to heavy rainfall, low visibility, and frequent flight delays or cancellations. While trekking is generally discouraged during monsoon, helicopter tours may still be possible on rare clear-weather windows.
