On sunny days in summer, helicopter tours are not cold as the sunlight is adequate for keeping the cabin warm. However, you may want to keep yourself warm with down jackets and other appropriate clothes during cold winter seasons.
You need to wear clothes depending on the season; when you are going on an Annapurna Helicopter tour. Do not wear anything that makes you uncomfortable or difficult to move or walk. For the summer season, it is ideal to wear loose clothes to avoid the heat while traveling on the helicopter. Sunglasses are perfect for helping your eyes from the sun’s rays. As the temperature changes frequently, especially in autumn and spring, keeping windproof jackets close to you is a good idea. Likewise, wearing down jackets, full clothes, mittens, and a thermal scarf helps to keep you warm in the cold season.
Yes, you can bring mobile phones on a helicopter, however, it is recommended to switch them off or put them on Airplane mode if you are not using them while traveling in a vehicle.
Usually, morning time around 6 to 8 is best for a helicopter tour to ABC, however, it also depends on the weather condition of the day.
