Ultralight Aircraft
Ultralight aircraft take off from Pokhara and offer spectacular vie ws of the lakes, mountains and villages. This
is an ideal way to see life from a new perspective. The choice of Pokhara Valley for ultra-light aircraft is
appropriate chiefly because of the proximity of the mountains, and the scenic lakes. For those who wished they
could fly birds when growing up, this flight is a must. It might be lonely at the top, but this flight is a
must. It might be lonely at the top, but the spectacular view from up high certainly makes it all worth it.
Flights are from the Pokhara airport beginning September through June. The flights take place from sunrise to 11
a.m. and from 3 p.m. to sunset every day during these months.
Mountain Biking
The best way to explore the Kathmandu Valley is on a mountain bike. Nepal’s diverse terrain is a mountain
biker’s dream adventure comes true. Mountain biking offers an environmentally sound way of exploring this
magnificent country, its landscape and living heritage. There are plenty of dirty roads and trails in Nepal to
meet every mountain biker’s wildest fantasy. Mountain biking is specially recommended if you wish to explore
urban centers of Nepal such as Pokhara and Kathmandu as well as the countryside. Adventurous souls may plan
extended trips to such exotic locals as Namche Bazaar, and western Nepal. You could even do the entire length of
Nepal across the plains. Mountain bikes are available for rent by the day or longer in many of the bicycle
rental outlets in Nepal and around the city.
Jungle Safari
National Parks located specially in the Terai region in Nepal attract visitors from all over the world. A visit
to these parks involves game- stalking by a variety of means-foot, dugout canoe, jeep, and elephant back. One is
bound to sight a one – horned rhino or two at every elephant safari. Besides the rhinos, wild boars, samburs,
spotted deer, sloth bear, four-horned antelope are also usually seen. A Royal Bengal tiger may surprise you by
his majestic appearance
