A helicopter tour in Nepal is the best option for those who want to see the Himalayas but are limited by time, physical capacity, or intimacy. It becomes a breathtaking journey to the top of the world, not just a vacation. Heli On Call is an expert at organizing these incredible aerial tours that give you a bird's-eye view of Earth's most beautiful landscapes.

Imagine soaring effortlessly across a universe of extremes. Our helicopter tours offer a breathtaking view of the world. The world's tallest mountains, deep, twisting valleys carved out over millennia, and ancient rivers of ice running through untouched glaciers will amaze you. You will fly above remote, lonely towns perched perilously on mountainsides, revealing stubborn local traditions, and circle sacred pilgrimage sites that have captivated the faithful for generations. Heli On Call is adept at making these stunning yet inaccessible sites accessible to the public. We show you the complete Himalayan landscape, from the snow-covered Everest peaks to the rich, bustling Mustang and Annapurna circuits.

There is no better way to enjoy Nepal's magnificent and varied environment. Eight of the world's fourteen 8,000-meter peaks, lush national parks full of wildlife, and lakes as still and calm as mirrors reflecting the towering giants above them are found in the country. Even though walking is fun in its own way, there is nothing like seeing this beautiful country from above.

Our signature helicopter tour to Mount Everest Base Camp remains our most popular option for a specific reason. This bucket list item involves landing at Kala Patthar, a rocky viewing point with the closest and best ground-level view of Mount Everest. Come here and shoot pictures in the chilly, biting air; they'll last a lifetime. As a bonus, you can enjoy a great breakfast at the Everest Panorama Hotel while taking in a 360-degree panorama of Lhotse, Nuptse, and Ama Dablam.

We provide many packages because each visitor is unique. Private charters offer privacy, flexibility, and personalization. They are ideal for honeymooners, families celebrating special occasions, and photographers seeking the perfect snap. Heli On Call provides tourism, aerial research, surveying, and mapping.

Restricted Area Helicopter Tours in Nepal: Going Beyond the Ordinary

Annapurna and Mount Everest are not the only locations in Nepal that provide opportunities for helicopter tours; there are a number of other locations that offer this service as well. In addition, there are some gorgeous, traditional, and secluded parts of the country that are difficult to get to either on foot or in a car. In order to safeguard both the environment and their delicate culture, the government has declared a significant number of these locations to be restricted zones. People are required to obtain special permission in order to reach the location in question. The most efficient, straightforward, and memorable method of experiencing these hidden treasures, which include untouched natural beauty, deserted landscapes, lakes of turquoise water, and ancient monasteries, is to take a helicopter.

Best Season for a Helicopter Tour in Nepal (2025/2026 Guide)

In order to ensure that the skies are clear, the visibility is fantastic, and the journey is both safe and pleasurable, it is vital to choose the ideal time for your helicopter tour in Nepal. The weather in the Himalayas is the primary factor that determines the best times to participate in aerial activities there. Heli On Call is available for business throughout the entire year, but we highly recommend that you come and visit during the following seasons in order to have the most enjoyable experience possible.

Autumn (October to November)—The Premier Season

Once the monsoon season has reached its conclusion, autumn arrives and is regarded as the time of year that offers the most constant weather conditions, the cleanest skies, and the fewest clouds in the sky. The views are nothing short of spectacular because the air is so pure and pristine, and there are no obstructions that prevent one from seeing the snow-covered peaks of the mountains. It is comfortable to land at high altitudes due to the fact that the temperatures are moderate.

The summer season is the ideal option for any trip destination, especially for areas like Everest Base Camp, Annapurna Base Camp, and Langtang Valley. There is a reason why this is the most well-liked time of year for people to travel.

Spring (March to May) is the second finest time of year.

When it comes to the question of which season is the most enjoyable, autumn is a very strong competitor, but spring is not far behind. Now that the days are longer and the weather is warmer, the rhododendron forests at lower elevations are in full, glorious bloom, which will add a splash of color to your flight. Although there is a chance that clouds will accumulate in the afternoon on occasion, the mornings are typically bright and sunny, which makes them the perfect time of day for flying.

Appropriate for any location. The flowering flora that can be observed during these flights over Annapurna and Langtang is what makes them so breathtaking.

Winter (December to February) Recommended for those who have a lot of courage

The following are the reasons why it may be conceivable for it to succeed: During the winter season, the skies are incredibly clear and sharp. The cold air provides some of the clearest visibility seen throughout the year. That being said, it is exceedingly cold, especially when flights are performed in the early morning and when landing locations are located at significant elevations, such as Kala Patthar. Strong winds and snow are likely to cause delays or cancellations in flights.

For travelers who are well-versed in traveling and who are prepared for severely cold weather, this is the most suitable choice. The sights you will witness are guaranteed to be absolutely spectacular, provided that you can get up the willpower to withstand the cold.

Monsoon Season (June to September)—Typically Not Recommended 

The summer monsoon is the cause of a substantial amount of rainfall, a thick cloud cover, and frequent turbulence. The mountain vistas that are the highlight of the trip are often covered by poor visibility, which is a common occurrence. Landings at high altitudes are frequently canceled due to the fact that the weather conditions at these altitudes are occasionally severe.

Important Note: Due to their location behind the Himalayas, Dolpo and Upper Mustang, among other regions, receive relatively little rainfall. During this season, it is a good time to go on brief flights to these locations, which are referred to as "rain-shadow areas."

Pro Tip: Regardless of the time of year, it is almost always preferable to take a flight in the morning. The weather is most often at its calmest and most stable throughout the early morning hours, which significantly raises the probability of a successful landing once you get to your destination.
