Trip Highlights
20-minute open-cockpit ultralight aircraft over Pokhara and the Annapurna Himalaya
Phewa Lake, Seti River gorge, and Pokhara city from 200–500 m altitude
Machapuchare (Fish Tail Mountain) close-up from the air — the most dramatic Pokhara view
Tal Barahi Island temple and the full Pokhara valley bowl from above
Perfect complement to paragliding — same panorama, different sensation
A 20-minute open-cockpit ultralight flight from Pokhara that puts you closer to the Annapurna, Machapuchare, and Dhaulagiri faces than any other aerial experience.
Day-by-Day Itinerary(1 days)
Transfer to Pokhara's ultralight airstrip near Lakeside (820m). Safety briefing and weight check before boarding the open-cockpit microlight aircraft with your experienced pilot. Take off over the Pokhara valley for a 30-minute flight across Phewa Lake, over the Seti River gorge, and toward the towering Annapurna massif. The intimate open-cockpit experience and low altitude make this the most immersive way to see the Himalayas from the air. Machhapuchhre, Annapurna South, and Dhaulagiri fill the windshield. Land back at the strip and transfer to hotel.
