    Annapurna Base Camp Helicopter Tour - Highly recommend for non trekkers

    Annapurna Base Camp Helicopter Tour, what I got was nothing short of amazing. I realized right away that this would be a once in a life time experience as soon as we took off. The booking procedure for Aspiration Adventure was easy and well-organized. Anjan was attentive, swiftly responding to all of my inquiries and giving me thorough explanations on what to expect. To make sure I was ready and enthusiastic for the excursion, they even help me with return journey airlines flight back to Kathmandu. Touching down at 4,130 meters, we were surrounded by some of the most spectacular mountain vistas on Earth. With time to capture photos and enjoy the tranquility, it was the perfect blend of adventure and serenity. I would highly recommend this trk for those who are looking to explore Annapurna without trekking.
