Disclaimers

What are things worth noting about this tour?
Man and machine are dictated to the facts of a machine’s limitation for which it serves you well. The helicopter, which is a machine to lifts vertically into the air and flies forward, does so on the density of the air, hence lessening the air for the force to lift higher and less oxygen for the combustion of its engines. So the pilot has its limitations at these altitudes. So, when the weather plays spoilsport, the tour might be canceled that day: it becomes dangerous or you might not get the proper fun of taking such a tour of iconic worth.

Usually, when a person gets to 3,000 plus meters or 9,842 plus feet s/he must acclimatize to the air level, else longer periods could turn out fatal. So, this is precisely why the pilot does not allow his passengers to stay longer. Plus, in case, you might feel the effect while flying, there are oxygen masks. The higher we climb, the colder it gets, please boot and suit, yourself for the extremely cold climate.

Since a tour of this kind can be canceled for precautionary measures to be rescheduled the next day, it would be advisable to have a few days on hand if you happen to be a tourist to the country. We hope you understand, that your security and comfort, are of utter importance.

Weather

Despite, forecasts made by meteorological institutes, the weather of mountainous regions like Annapurna is unpredictable and ever-changing. If the weather conditions are adverse, then it will be for our own good to cancel and postpone the Heli Tour, and taking risk is no option. So, we request our clients have a few more buffer days to accommodate any inconveniences.
