The
Everest Experience Flight
The Everest Experience flight
gives the best opportunity to get the closest and the best
view of Mount Everest (8,850mts) & other mountains such as;
Shisa Pangma (8,013m), Gauri Shanker (7,134m), Melungtse
(7,023m), Cho Oyu (8,201m), Pumori (8,171m), Nuptse (7,855m),
Lhotse (8,516m) & Amadablam (6,856m). The flights are operated
every morning from Kathmandu airport which fly at an average
altitude of 6,500 - 7,000 meters. Circling Mount Amadabalm to
enter the Khumbu valley, we take the passengers almost five
nautical miles from the highest peak in the world - Mt.
Everest (weather permitting). This flight usually lasts for
about an hour. We provide each passenger with individual
window seats (guaranteed) during the entire flight. Moreover,
all our passengers are invited to the cockpit from where they
can take some spectacular pictures of the world’s tallest
mountains.
Hot air Ballooning
On
Balloon Sunrise, Nepal's one-hour hot air balloon flight, the
views become unforgettable. Rise gently over the red-tile
roofed houses, temples and stupas and drift weightlessly over
green terraced fields in the crisp morning air. Within minutes
of the ascent, the majestic Himalayan panorama will greet you,
from the rugged Langtang Himal all the way to Mt. Everest. Let
moments freeze as you drift beyond the pristine valley on
board the world's oldest but safest method of air travel. This
one-hour on the balloon will leave everyone with memories to
last a lifetime. Flying 3000m above the Kathmandu valley
safely perched on a wicker basket opens up vast expanses of
enchanting sights accessible only to the initiated. Breathe
easily in the fresh, crisp air of the quintessential Kathmandu
dawn as you absorb the 360 view of awe-inspiring landscape -
lush green hills, terraced fields enriched by nature's colours,
terra-cotta structures huddled together like watchful
sentinels, gilded temple spires, lonely stupas. Each one
bathed by the first golden rays of the rising sun.
Ultra light aircraft
Ultra
light
aircraft was introduced in Nepal in 1996 and has been offering
tours in and around Pokhara valley from Pokhara airport.
Because of the proximity of the mountains and the scenic lake,
Pokhara is the appropriate place for this activity as they
share airspace with Himalayan griffin vultures, eagles, kites
and float over villages, monasteries, temples, lakes and
jungle, with a fantastic view of the majestic Himalayas. For
those who wish they could fly like birds, this flight is a
must. The flights are operated in the morning from sunrise
till 11am and from 3pm till sunset in the months from
September till June. It flies at the speed of 50-130kms/hr
depending on wind direction and speed. It can even take off
and land in a field or on a dirt road. The aircraft seats two;
a passenger and a pilot only.
Paragliding
Paragliding is the purest form of flying. By harnessing the
elements and rising currents of warm air, one can stay aloft
for many hours and travel great distances. This simple
engine-free aircraft fits easily into a rucksack and weighs
around 12kg. Because it can fly very slowly, we can foot
launch and gently land again with minimum effort, making it
perfect for pioneering new sport of adventure flying.
Paragliding in Nepal amongst the grandest scenery on earth is
an inspiring experience. Tandem flying involves a pilot flying
with one passenger. Both have separate harnesses that are
attached to each other and to the wing. Paragliding harnesses
are built for comfort and safety, so that the passengers can
just sit back, relax and take in the epic scenery. The main
area for flying in Nepal is the Annapurna region, more
specifically the Pokhara valley. This lakeside town is Nepal's
second "city", nestled at the foot of the Annapurna Himal, the
views commanded from here of three of the world’s 8000 m
peaks, are unsurpassed. There are several sites around Phewa
Tal (the lake) but the most accessible and the popular is
Sarangkot (1,500m).
Bungy Jumping
Bungy
Jumping has finally found a natural home in the highest
mountain range in the world. First developed in New Zealand,
this adventure sport is an extremely exciting development for
adventure travel in Nepal. The ultimate thrill of a bungy
jumping dropping over 160m can now be experienced in Nepal at
one of the best sites that this sport can boast of anywhere in
the world.
The site is situated over
Bhotekoshi River suspended in isolation on a high cliff-top
gorge, inviting adventurous people to experience the ultimate
adrenaline rush in the surroundings of this amazing place. The
Bhote Kosi River is one of the world’s wildest raging rivers,
rushes down from the heights of the Himalayas.

Rock Climbing
Rock-climbing has become
extremely popular among the adventurous tourists coming into
Nepal. It is arranged on a cliff in Nagarjun (Jamacho) Hill
located to the northwest of the Swayambhunath stupa. The cliff
here is located inside the Nagarjun forest reserve (or the
Royal Forest), suitable for both beginners and wall rats. It
can also be arranged on the Shivapuri hill located to the
north of Kathmandu, which has a fine rock wall on its slope.
Cultural Show
Several
cultural centers in Kathmandu present Nepalese Classical and
Folk dances every evening with traditional costumes and
jeweler. Some of them also offer the possibility of sampling a
typical Nepali dinner, thus making it a whole evening’s
affair. The one-hour show includes dances performed by
different communities of Nepal like Newars, Sherpas, Magars,
Gurungs, Tamangs, Tharus etc; using typical music instruments
and dances mimicking animals and birds such as; Yeti, Yak and
Peacock.
