The Annapurna Base Camp (ABC) trek with a helicopter return is an excellent option for those with limited time and a flexible budget. This adventure combines the thrill of trekking with the luxury of a scenic helicopter ride back to Pokhara. After reaching Annapurna Base Camp on the third day and experiencing the breathtaking views of the surrounding peaks, you can skip the return trek and fly back on the fourth day. The helicopter ride not only saves time but also offers a bird's-eye view of the majestic Himalayas, making your trip even more memorable. This option is perfect for travelers who want to enjoy the best of both worlds – the challenge of trekking and the convenience of a quick, scenic return.
