Pokhara is an amazing valley known for its beautiful lakes and superb mountain views and now it is a favored destination for paragliding. Three of the peaks seen are over 8000m and the popular one is the Annapurna massif. In Pokhara, generally the weather conditions are perfect for flying as it is consistent and gentle. The view is awesome as from a few meters above ground you can see the Annapurnas, Machhapuchare, Daulaghiri, Manaslu and many others.

Perfect weather conditions for beginners pilot. Flights take off almost every day, except during the monsoon (June to August) when it rains a lot. The first experience is normally from Sarangkot (1500m) to Pokhara (800m), a beautiful experience. Feel the sensation of flying in thermal conditions, (rising more than 500 m from the take-off point), from there fly cross-country with the birds, over the local countryside where you will see expansive rice fields, traditional villages and people working in the fields, before flying over the lake, before landing on the lakeside.

Mountain Flights  

Besides trekking, mountaineering, rafting and jungle safari, Nepal offers many other exciting activities to its visitors. The excitement may last for just an hour, or stretch for days, and it may be relaxing or adventurous. If the time constraints stop you from going out to the Himalayas, the next best thing for you is the popular "Magic" Everest Flights. You needn’t take a step out of the valley, we’ll fly you there. And there means RIGHT OVER THE MOUNTAINS.    

The hour-long Mountain Flight takes you up close and over some Himalayan mountain peaks. Enjoy breathtaking views of rows and rows of mountains including the world’s highest peak, Mount Everest at 8848m. The flight takes you up to 25,000 feet above sea level into the stupendous Himalayan region. Operating out of Kathmandu, the plane flies close to Mount Dorje Lakpa, Gaurishankar, Nuptse, Pumori, Cho-Oyo, Langtang, Kanchenjunga and many others.  

Each passenger is ensured a window seat as this plane has nothing but window seats. As the plane approaches Everest, the pilot calls each one in turn to enjoy the great view from the cock-pit and allows you to photograph the mighty Everest. The panoramic view from the cockpit is incomparable as you gaze over hundreds of snow-capped peaks below, stretching to the distant horizon. It’s a moving spectacle and one of nature’s wonders. And all this from the comfort of a seat in an aeroplane.
