Ultra Light Aircraft

Introduction:

To experience being air borne on the ultra Light aircraft in Nepal, you will have to head off to Pokhara. This scenic town surrounded by spectacular hills and commands great views of mountain peaks. It also has a giant lake and all the scenic places around it make it a great destination for traveling. Right from Icarus to the Wright brothers, man’s quest of developing wings as natural as the birds has never ended. The quest does limit itself somehow with the Ultra Light Aircraft. Ultra Light Aircraft is a small light weight airplane with an engine. Once you have taken off in to the air, this aircraft, in the right conditions can switch off its engine and glide through the air almost like a hand glider. The cockpit can be either enclosed or open depending on the aircraft. It gets its name for its light weight frame. The Ultra light flight gives you thrill and excitement of being in the air dependent on the wind, yet it does not involve any risk or danger. The flight has an engine to help with the landing process and can come handy if the weather decides to change. The cockpit has enough room for you and the pilot. The Ultra light flight is a great way to see spectacular mountain peaks and the earth below.

Pokhara (Place of Operation)
The Pokhara Valley - one of the most picturesque spots of Nepal, is enhanced by its lovely lakes Phewa, Begnas, and Rupa. Situated 200 kilometers west of Kathmandu, Pokhara is connected by air or by buss from Kathmandu and Bhairahawa - a border town near india.

The view of the Himalayas from Pokhara provides one of the world's most awe-inspiring scenes. Nowhere else on earth can you get so close (25 miles) to so many peaks that exceed 22,000 feet while relaxing in a subtropical valley. 

Pokhara's proximity to the mountains and scenic lakes of the region makes it a perfect place for our ultralight base. A 15-, 30- or 60 minute flight gives you a unique view of the area.

Leave your woes behind on earth, soar to the 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.

Trekkers know Pokhara as the starting point for classic routes like the Jomosom trail, and as the ideal site for lazy recuperation after the three-week Annapurna Circuit. 

For non-trekkers the valley offers mountain views and glimpses of rural Nepali life going far beyond those of the Kathmandu Valley. For everyone, Pokhara is a wonderfully relaxing place.
