Overview
Pokhara Ultra-light Flight Experience at a glance
This 2-3 hours adventure experience is best planned around September-May (best: October-November, March-April). It is rated easy and reaches up to 3,000m+ (flight altitude), with local support for route timing, logistics, and practical adjustments.
Experience the magic of flight in an open-cockpit ultralight aircraft over Pokhara's stunning landscape. Unlike commercial flights, ultralights offer an intimate, wind-in-your-face experience as you soar past the Annapurna range with unobstructed 360-degree views.
The ultralight takes off from Pokhara Airport and climbs toward the Himalayas, giving you eye-level views of some of the world's highest peaks. On clear days, you'll see Machapuchare (Fishtail), Annapurna South, Hiunchuli, Annapurna I, and even distant Dhaulagiri. Below, the stunning blue waters of Phewa Lake and the lush green Pokhara Valley create a breathtaking panorama.
Our fleet consists of well-maintained ultralight aircraft piloted by experienced aviators with thousands of flight hours. The open cockpit design provides unmatched photo opportunities and an authentic flying experience. Choose from 15-minute, 30-minute, or 60-minute flights depending on how much time you want to spend in the sky.
This is the only way to experience close-up mountain views without trekking. Perfect for photographers, aviation enthusiasts, or anyone seeking a unique perspective of Nepal's natural beauty.
