An ultralight flight over Phewa Lake and Pokhara

Ultralight Flight over Pokhara

A small open aircraft over the lake and the foothills.

An ultralight is a small open two-seat aircraft, and from Pokhara it gives you the valley and the range from the air with nothing between you and the view. Short flights circle the lake and Sarangkot; longer ones run in close to the snow on Annapurna and Machapuchare.

It flies from the domestic airport, mostly in the calm of the morning.
