This thrilling adventure provides an unparalleled bird's-eye view of the stunning landscapes, making it one of the most popular activities for adventure seekers visiting Nepal.
The ultralight aircraft used in Pokhara are small, lightweight, single-engine planes that give passengers an open-air, almost glider-like flying experience.

With the ability to glide smoothly in the air, ultralight flights provide a tranquil yet exhilarating way to explore the region.

The flight paths often take you over Pokhara’s charming villages, terraced fields, monasteries, and Phewa Lake, providing a rich visual experience of rural Nepal.
Ultralight flights in Pokhara are usually scheduled in the morning, when the weather is calm and visibility is optimal, and again in the late afternoon, when the setting sun shines the mountains in a golden light.

Flying in an ultralight aircraft is a unique, safe, and exciting way to explore Nepal’s natural beauty.

Trip Info
Best Season for Ultralight Flight in Pokhara
The best season for ultralight flights in Pokhara, Nepal, is generally during the autumn (September to November) and spring (March to May) seasons. Here's why:
1. Autumn (September to November):
- Weather: The monsoon season typically ends by late September, so the weather is clear and stable. Visibility is excellent, offering spectacular views of the Himalayas, including the Annapurna and Machapuchare mountain ranges.
- Temperatures: Temperatures are moderate, neither too hot nor too cold, making the flight comfortable.

- Mountain views: Views of the snow-capped peaks are stunning, and the landscape starts to come alive with spring greenery.
- Temperatures: Spring temperatures are mild, making it a comfortable time for flying.
Avoid:
- Summer (June to August): This is the monsoon season, which can lead to frequent rain, reduced visibility, and rough air conditions, making ultralight flying less ideal.
- Winter (December to February): While winter offers clear skies, it can be quite cold, especially at higher altitudes. This can make flying less comfortable, especially if you're not prepared for colder temperatures.
Essential Tips for a Safe and Enjoyable Ultralight Flight in Pokhara, Nepal
Best Time for Flying
The best time for ultralight flights in Pokhara is in the morning. Early morning flights tend to have clear skies and calm winds, providing optimal conditions for a smooth and scenic flight. As the day progresses, clouds tend to form, which can obstruct the stunning mountain views and make the flight less enjoyable. For the best visibility and a more peaceful experience, aim to book your flight in the early hours of the day.
Clothing
When preparing for an ultra light flight, you’ll want to dress appropriately for both comfort and safety. Although the operator will provide safety equipment such as a helmet and harness, it's important to consider the following:
- Footwear: Wear comfortable, sturdy shoes (preferably supportive boots) to ensure you can easily move around and stay safe.
- Layered Clothing: Even if the weather is warm in Pokhara, temperatures can drop at higher altitudes. A warm sweater or jacket is recommended, especially if you’re flying during the cooler months.
- Wind Protection: Windproof jackets are a good idea, as the open nature of the ultralight will expose you to the wind. A scarf or hat can also protect against wind and sun exposure.
- Accessories: Bring sunglasses to shield your eyes from the glare of the sun, and don’t forget sunscreen to protect your skin from UV rays.
Health Considerations
Ultralight flights offer a thrilling experience, but it's important to ensure your health is up to the task. Here are some things to consider:
- Fear of Heights: If you have acrophobia (fear of heights), an ultralight flight may not be the best activity for you. The flight can provide a unique bird’s-eye view of the landscape, but if you are afraid of heights, it could be overwhelming.
- Blood Pressure & Health Conditions: It is essential to maintain stable blood pressure during the flight. If you have any health issues, such as heart conditions, extreme blood pressure fluctuations, or are under medical care, it’s important to consult your doctor before booking an ultralight flight.
- Motion Sickness: If you are prone to motion sickness, the sensation of flying in an ultralight may be unsettling. It’s advisable to take precautions, such as anti-nausea medication, before flying.
If you're in doubt about your health condition, always consult your healthcare provider to ensure that an ultralight flight is a safe activity for you.
Other Considerations
- Health Insurance (Mandatory): Make sure your travel insurance covers ultralight flight activities. While most operators in Pokhara have insurance for their equipment and staff, it's a good idea to confirm that you’re adequately covered as well.
- Safety Briefing: Never skip the pre-flight safety briefing. Ensure you understand the flight procedures, emergency protocols, and how to communicate with the pilot during the flight.
