    • The Madri Himal Helicopter tour is the best way to see three of the famous Himalayan ranges in Nepal which are Annapurna, Dhaulagiri, and Mardi Himal itself. I have been to various mountains in Nepal and have gained lots and lots of experience as well as memories. This time I traveled with my family and I had promised to show them Everest, Annapurna, and Dhaulagiri Mountain. We trekked to Everest Base Camp and saw the majestic Everest but they had no idea how I was going to show them Annapurna and Dhaulagiri. So I surprised them with a Helicopter tour which was outstanding. We got the opportunity to see various other mountains like Ganesh and even a few glimpses of mount Everest while flying above. Thanks to Heli On Call for making this trip memorable and stress free.
