You can go on the Annapurna Helicopter Tour at any time of the year during daylight hours, as long as the weather is clear and you can see well. But the best times for this tour are in the fall and spring, when the weather is just right for exploring the Annapurna region by helicopter.
Winter, from December to February, can also be a good time, but keep in mind that the place where the helicopter lands at the base camp might be covered in snow.
However, it's not a good idea to go on this tour during the rainy season because the sky is often cloudy and foggy, making it very hard to see and fly safely.
So, in simple terms, the best times to go on the Annapurna Base Camp Helicopter Tour are from February to May and from September to December. These months give you the best weather for a fun and enjoyable helicopter ride.
