Annapurna Helicopters

Annapurna Helicopters is a helicopter operator based at the TIA Commercial Building in Sinamangal, Kathmandu, Nepal. The company says it has flown travellers, trekkers and cargo across the Himalayas since 2017. It describes itself as one of Nepal's most trusted helicopter companies, with certified pilots and a modern fleet.

The Everest scenic flight lasts one to one and a half hours from Kathmandu, with group and private options. The route passes Everest, and an optional landing near Everest Base Camp allows breakfast with a view. A 60 minute Everest View flight is also listed, with a window seat guarantee and pilot narration.

Rescue and evacuation services run around the clock and cover Nepal's trekking regions. The company describes mountain medical evacuation with rapid response. It also offers private charter with flexible routing, VIP service and multi-day missions for groups that need a custom plan.

Sightseeing flights give views of the highest peaks in the world. Annapurna Base Camp charters are full day trips with landing time included. Pilgrimage tours take guests on day trips to Muktinath, Manakamana and other sacred Himalayan sites.

Cargo and logistics services provide helicopter cargo delivery and remote area logistics for business and humanitarian projects. Photography flights offer flexible time windows, permit support and doors-off options for aerial photography missions.

The fleet includes three Airbus AS350 helicopters. These are the 9N-ANU AS350 B2 and the 9N-AOR and 9N-AMQ AS350 B3e, which the website also lists as the H125.
