One of the adventure tourism activities in Nepal is Hot Air Ballooning, which feels like flying a bird in the sky with an eye-catching view. The Hot Air Balloon Flight provides a scenic mountain view of the Annapurna, Dhaulagiri, Manaslu, and Ganesh Himal massifs, including the beautiful lakes of Pokhara city, valley, rivers, hills, and terraces. This hot air ballooning flight service runs only in Pokhara, about 200km west of the capital city of Kathmandu. To go to Pokhara, there are the tourist bus services, which take 6-7 hours driving through the hillside driving, or a scenic mountain flight, which takes about half an hour, then transfer to the place from where the ballooning flights take off.
This Ballooning Flight is a new adventure experience in Nepal that was launched in November 2018. The hot air balloon flights operate twice daily, in the morning and noon, except in the rainy season. Expert pilots fly these flights. For now, the flights take off from two places, Dhampus and Landruk, and then land at Hemja and the Mardi Khola river bank. These 30-minute and hour flights can be enjoyed above the big snowcapped mountains, the fascinating Pokhara city, the peaceful lakes, and more.
The best time for these flights is September to May because usually, these months have less chance of rain and are an excellent time to see the mountains. Usually, there are daily flights during these months, but the flights may be canceled due to the air conditions and weather sometimes.
