The most intimate way to see the Annapurna range. Nepal's ultralight flights take off from Pokhara in open-cockpit two-seater aircraft at dawn, climbing toward the snow peaks with nothing between you and the mountains but air. Choose from 30-minute, 60-minute, or 90-minute options. On a clear morning, the Annapurna, Machhapuchhre, Dhaulagiri, and Manaslu summits are visible simultaneously. The freedom of it is unlike any other mountain experience we offer.

Pokhara valley and Phewa Lake

- Step 3
Mountain approach and panorama
Fly toward the range with Machhapuchhre (Fishtail) dominating the view ahead. Pilot narrates peaks and glaciers.
