Himalaya Helicopter Adventure 🇳🇵
Вставка
- Опубліковано 30 лип 2024
- I made it to the peaks of Annapurna! Well, a helicopter with me inside made it up there.
I had no intention of visiting the Himalayan mountain tops on this visit to Nepal. I was planning on leaving the trekking until another trip, possibly in the autumn or spring time, when the climate is more suitable for such activities. However, an opportunity came up that I couldn't say no to.
I was eating dinner at my hotel in Pokhara and got chatting to Alexander, another guest who was staying there. He told me that he'd booked a helicopter to take him into the mountains the next day and offered for me to come along for free.
How could I say no to that? To rent a helicopter for that kind of trip normally costs around $2,400 and he was offering me an opportunity to enjoy that experience at a 100% discount.
So I went to bed early, woke up at 5 a.m. the next morning and off we went to Pokhara Airport. It's always best to take these flights in the morning as that's when the clearest weather conditions are. It was extra important for Alex as his sole reason for taking the helicopter was to capture photos.
Alexander Maria Lohmann is an artist who combines photography with oil painting to produce stunning works of art. You can check out his work on his website and Instagram account:

Please some him some love as without him this video wouldn't have been made.
Unfortunately we were waiting around at the airport for hours, with the helicopter operator giving us a bunch of excuses for the delay. By the time we got up in the air, there were a bunch of thick clouds at the place we wanted to visit.
Still, we had a good fly around the peaks of the Annapurna mountain range as we waited for clearer weather to touch down at Mardi High Point. The views were incredible. I'd seen nothing like that in my life, up close.
When we touched down at Mardi base camp our helicopter immediately took off with other people in it. I figured that meant it would be a while until it was back to pick us up, and that I'd have plenty of time to explore.
I left Alex to take photos of Machapuchare, the holy mountain, while I had a wander through the village that has been set up to provide food and shelter to trekkers.
There's a bunch of guesthouses up there but I only found two trekkers, so I've no idea how the owners of these places are managing to make a living.
I had a nice cup of tea with a view of the beautiful Annapurna mountains at one of these "teahouses". They are called teahouses but are there to provide accommodation and food in addition to simple cups of tea. They can be found along all trekking routes in Nepal.
I asked to view the rooms and they were very simple. Just cabins made from thin wood with some beds stuck in them. Nothing else at all. No bathrooms, just a toilet in a shack outside.
After spending a bit of time talking to two trekkers I could hear Alex shouting. He wanted me to run to the helicopter. At first I assumed he was joking because it hadn't been that long since we arrived, but it turned out he was serious and they were close to leaving me behind.
Thankfully they waited for me but they weren't happy.
I wasn't long back in Pokhara airport when I was taking off again, this time in an Ultralight. The pilots recognised me while I was waiting for the helicopter ride and offered to give me a free flight when I returned from that trip.
The ultralights are tiny aircraft that almost look like toys. They didn't look like the safest things in the world but weather conditions were calm so I felt safe.
Up in the air, we basically toured the whole of Pokhara and its surroundings in 15 minutes. We flew over Sarangkot, over Phewa Lake and then past the Buddhist stupa and Shiva statue on the other side.
After bargaining with the airport taxi drivers I arrived back at my hotel at Pavilions The Farm for a well deserved swim and then went out to eat Dal Bhat at a local guesthouse / restaurant.

Welcome to Nepal sister 🇳🇵🇳🇵iam live in now cypurs🇨🇾🇨🇾
to all out there:
I'm so sorry I put so much pressure on dale up there. at this altitude you shouldn't switch off the engine of the helicopter and apparently the petrol was running out. i tried with all my might to convince the pilots that dale is coming soon and that they shouldn't fly alone and pick him up later. that would certainly not be in his interest. that's why I was angry for a moment and that almost never happens.
sorry for that.
we were friends again after minutes and that’s the most important i think :)
Oh You are great alex👌
Stuff happens mate. Love your work though!
@@a_son8549

thank you alina :)
Im not blaming you for whats happen Alexander. If i were u, i would be have same reaction like you 😂
I mean angry are really normal... I even will lost patience in like 10 minutes while waiting for picking up my lil brother hahah
But anyway love how u descalate and tryin not not argue furthermore.
Thank you so much for bringing Dale to your trip!!
Man I felt bad for Dale. He’s got a good spirit. Very neutral and calm person with humbles ness. I don’t how long you were hanging out but I did see the helicopter leaving. So I’m on your side as anyone with no experience to there would be confused. Awesome video!
Easy to get caught Up in the moment and relax. No one's fault but Photographer could have been kinder.
You got in trouble on the mountain, and you left it in the video. You didn't need to do that, but you're honest in your vlogs, I appreciate that. You show us the real world, including your own embarrassments, sometimes. Not everyone would do that.
Nepalese people never fails to show nice hospitality, Really appreciate Nepalese people❤️.

Nepal is such a beautiful country, you are lucky to meet those people!
The view from the top of the mountain is so magnificent, it's hard to imagine what life is like living there!
The second flight to see many sights is unforgettable, the light aircraft is so cute!
Helping local businesses is great action, thanks for sharing! 👍😄🙌
What a stunning place to visit - a blessing to be you when you are offered such a gift to participate in a fun adventure. Then the 2nd invite for fun was a topper!
It was like watching an IMAX movie, quite an adventure. I will experience this soon. Thanks Dale for taking us here. Nepali friends like them too 🙏 Love from Norway 🇳🇴
🙏🙏🙏🙏💐💐
I have done the Mardi trek and it is absolutely beautiful.
It is one of the easiest trek, you alsoget a constant view of the mountain rrange. You get to see lush forests and at the top towards the basecamp you feel like you are in a alien planet. ABSOLUTELY stunning.
can't thank you dale in words for exploring such beautiful aspects of my country. You are really a gem of a person.amples of loves from me
An eventful day! An austrian artist, a helikopter to the amazing mountains, a memorable tour on a small flight- thingy over Pokhara w friendly pilots, meeting with an Indian family obviously loving Scotland and lastly a good lunch by lokals! Just superb!! 🤗👍
And the Austrian guy got pissd off but Dale did ask him 3 times and he didn't say the departure time ..
Incredible Nature as well as the way you talking & shooting, simply awesome man, thumbs up
Best travel vlogger. No matter how long the videos are, they are never boring!
Thanks for uploading your experience in Nepal Dale! Nepal has lot to offer, just in prospects and opportunities we are behind but we are optimistic that we will overcome that someday, but nature wise from plane lands to the highest mountains in the world I feel so grateful being Nepalese 🇳🇵 right now I am thousands of miles away from my home but I feel so happy seeing my home country through your channel helps me reconnect to my beautiful land. Lots of love ❤️ and respect for you !

Thank you Alexander for bringing this Fantastic view through Dale Philip for us.

Thank you man for promoting our Nepal,be safe ❤
Annapurna is the tenth highest mountain in the world. You should always take survival gear when going into areas like that. Nevertheless, this was breathtaking.
That was brilliant to watch Dale, flying an hour away and being in complete isolation, away from all the modern day shit! Watching this made me feel like i was right beside you, i felt your pain running at that altitude, then getting it in the neck from Alex. Keep it up bro, all the way from Fife 🏴
I felt so pity for you being delayed for the helicopter 🚁 ride while returning 😂 you ran out of breathe and your friend was like your are gonna pay for the rest 😂😂😂 hahaha such a good vlog
Thank you for showing the mountains and entire Pokhara hope many tourist will come to our country seeing this video ❤️
The way you enjoy nepali Daal-Bhaat is awesome ❤️❤️ thank you Philip
Nepal is a cheap country for vloggers if you manage your budget
So please do stay more and travel more ❤️ thank you 😊 Jay Nepal 🇳🇵

Thank you Dale for promoting our country ❣️🙏 I feel so proud because you came here and visit many palces
Really appreciate to promote my home towns 🙏🙏love you mate from 🏴
Beautiful video. I became so anxious whether Dale would be left behind and the copter guys taking off. I presumed that they would have informed about the pickup time. Wish we couldve seen more scenes from that point. But the aerial view on the microlite more than made up for the shortfall.
The views from the helicopter and Ultralight was spectacular. Wow!
Great to see, my daughter there now , did the helicopter on the 6th August , no on a 10 day hike to 6000 metres
Dale ,what an experience!!! You could lose your temper, while he was talking to you like that, but you chose to be calm and silent.. like a pro. The video speaks itself anyway. Whenever you were asking something like what is happening with the helicopter, he was making fun ,but when he was talking about his works ,he was so serious like he is talking about world food crisis. Hahaha anyway. Keep it up my friend,you are such a great vlogger. My respect to Nepal and Nepalis from Greece.
Wow Alexander was Angry when you came late! What a split personality!
when i saw him angry,... i became angrier😤😡
