Early in the morning, you can take a flight from Kathmandu domestic terminal to Pokhara and meet our staff there who will take you to the shared Helicopter and you can start your trip to Annapurna base camp. This option saves you money if you are in Kathmandu. The best time for starting the tour is from 06:00 AM to 12:00 PM in the high season to get the best view of the base camp and encompassing mountains.
So, it is better to take an early morning flight as much as possible. If you have a spare day, then you can also take a drive to Pokhara, a day before your tour starts. After your tour completes you can roam around Pokhara and make a short flight back to Kathmandu from Pokhara.
