Flying above the amazing lands of Annapurna region and enjoying the limitless beauty of Annapurna Himalayas is really an incredible feeling. Annapurna Base Camp Helicopter Tour was worth it. At first, there was a little hesitation to choose it as it's a little costly in comparison to Annapurna Base Camp Trek but later the remaining time of my vacation was utilized in other short trips. Thanks to Step On Himalaya for managing in such a short notice and in a beautiful way. The time captured at Annapurna Base Camp is a lifetime achievement for me and my team. Go for Step On Himalaya. You will feel the difference.
