EVEREST MOUNTAIN FLIGHT

It is said that if you are in Rome and don't see Pyramid- your visit to Rome is incomplete; If you don't see Taj Mahal while you are in India- again your visit to India is incomplete. Likewise, if you don't go for the Everest mountain flight while you are in Nepal- then your visit to Nepal becomes meaningless.

For the traveler who is unable to make a trekking trip to the mountains either because of lack of time or physical fitness, there are mountain flights to stimulate the experience. The one hour flight takes you within camera range of some of the highest peaks in the world, cruising this close to the awe-inspiring massifs of rock and ice, is an out -of- this earth experience. The aircraft takes off and heads eastward and almost immediately, the peaks come into view. You can see uncountable mountain peaks that are above 6000 meter. Finally, there is Mount Everest (8,848m), called 'Sagarmatha' by the Nepalis and 'Chomolungma' by the Tibetans. Above all, it is gives a different feeling- a thrilling excitement as one comes face to face with the world's tallest and most enigmatic of mountains " The Everest".

PARAGLIDING
"Fly above the sky with eagles as a guide".

Paragliding in this Himalayan country can be a truly wonderful and fulfilling experience unparalleled scenic grandeur as you share airspace with Himalayan griffin vultures, eagles, kites, while floating over villages, monasteries, temples, lakes and jungles with the a fantastic view of the majestic Himalayas.
Paragliding is a relatively new adventure sport in Nepal. The last three years have seen the activity flourish in Pokhara. The flight takes off from the top of Sarangkot hill and lands on the coast of lake Phewa. For the free flight enthusiasts, it is really a wonderful trip while you are in Pokhara.

ULTRA LIGHT AIRCRAFT

For those who wish they could fly like birds, this flight is a must. Leave your woes behind on earth, soar to heights, bathe in the clouds, reach out for the mountains and kiss the azure sky. It might be lonely at the top, but the spectacular view from high up there certainly makes up for everything. You forget yourself for some moments.
This Ultralight aircraft was introduced in Nepal in 1996, and the operator has been offering sight seeing tours in Pokhara valley. The choice of Pokhara for ultra- light aircraft is appropriate chiefly because of the proximity of the mountains, and the scenic lakes.

 

BUNGY JUMP
(Wild jump from the high bridge)

The sport has finally found a natural home in the highest mountain range in the world. The ultimate thrill of the bungy jump can now be experienced in Nepal at perhaps the site in the world.

Nepal's first bungy jumping site is situated 160 m over the wild Bhote Koshi river, and localated close to the Nepal- Tibet border, a three hours bus ride from Kathmandu. A jump can be arranged in arrival in Kathmandu. The jump, at 160m, was desined by one of Newzerland's leading bungy consultants, and is operated by some of the most experienced jump-masters in the business. It's mishap- proof. The agency takes safety very, very seriously!

HIKING AROUND POKHARA

There are several hiking routes but basically we recommend three routes; Sarangkot, Foksing and Peace Pgoda. Sarangkot is to the north of Pokhara city. It gives fantastic view of the lake, city and Annapurna range. The view form world peace pagoda is more beautiful. And, the Foksing hike also gives a panoramic mountain view from Ganesh himal from east to Nilgiri to the south. All the three hiking spots take about three hours to complete. These trails are the most remarkable hiking trails in Pokhra. All the spots are close nearby however the excitement differs.
