We have just returned from a 14 day, 11 day hike with Raj and Durga from Team Himalaya to Everest Base Camp. From the minute we landed to our departure we were properly looked after and cared for by Team Himalaya. The trek to and from Everest Base Camp was wonderful, our guides and porters really looked after us and were incredibly knowledgeable. In Nepal things can go wrong especially with flights to and from Lukla but Team responded magnificently and found alternative solutions. If this is on your bucket list as ours and you are looking for a company to organise this with I would 100% recommend Raj.
Nepal is not just famous for its adventurous trekking trails but also a playground for water and air adventure enthusiasts, where you can fly for ten months from the lowlands to snowcapped peaks. Ultra-light aircraft flight is an adventurous and exhilarating ride that offers an uninterrupted bird's-eye view of the majestic mountains and serene lakes below. For all those dreamers who have long dreamt of flying like a free bird, here’s your chance. Similarly, for those who want to be in close vicinity of mountains, glaciated lakes and passes, and quaint alpine villages, it is your chance to do that from the comfort of your aircraft.
Ultra-light aircraft flights operate from Pokhara Airport from September to June. The most popular times for flights are from sunrise to 11 a.m. and from 3 p.m. to sunset every day during these months. Easy and convenient to operate, these aircraft can take off and land on a dirt road or even a field. The hour-long flight will take you to an adrenaline-pumping elevation of 5000 meters around the skies of Pokhara Valley. Throughout the flight, you can enjoy splendid views of serene lakes, regal mountains, and the beautiful Nepalese countryside.
