Description
Experience the thrill of an ultralight flight over Pokhara Valley. Soar above the Annapurna Range, see the iconic Fishtail Mountain, and glide over Phewa Lake.
Begin with a pickup from your hotel in the Lakeside area of Pokhara. After a short scenic drive to the ultralight aviation station near the airport, meet your professional pilot for a comprehensive safety briefing and flight introduction.
Before takeoff, receive safety gear and learn basic flight procedures. Once ready, your lightweight aircraft smoothly ascends into the sky, revealing panoramic views of Pokhara Valley below.
As the ultralight aircraft gains altitude, the Himalayan panorama begins to unfold dramatically before your eyes. The magnificent Annapurna range dominates the skyline while the sacred Machhapuchhre (Fishtail Mountain) rises sharply with its iconic double summit.
During the flight, glide above Phewa Lake, Sarangkot hills, Pokhara Valley, traditional hillside settlements, green forests, and river landscapes. Depending on the selected package duration, the flight may extend deeper toward the Himalayan region for closer mountain encounters and broader aerial photography opportunities.
