Best Time for an Ultralight Flight in Pokhara

Ultralight flights operate from Pokhara's old domestic airport, mainly from September to June. The monsoon months bring cloud and rain, so flying is limited in summer.

Autumn (October to November) gives the clearest views of Machhapuchhre, the Annapurna range and Dhaulagiri. Winter (December to February) has crisp, stable mornings, and spring (March to May) is warm with good visibility early in the day.

Whatever the season, early morning flights, roughly between 6:30 AM and 11:00 AM, usually give the calmest air and the best mountain views.

How the Flight Works & Requirements

An ultralight is a small, open two-seat aircraft. You fly as the only passenger with an experienced pilot, choosing a 15, 30, 60 or 90-minute flight. Longer flights reach further towards the Annapurna range and the surrounding valleys.

No experience is needed. There is usually a weight limit of around 90 to 95 kg for safety, and age rules vary by operator, so please confirm both with us when booking. The aircraft is open, so expect cold wind at altitude.

Flights only go ahead in suitable weather. If conditions are poor, your flight is rescheduled or refunded according to the operator's policy.

What to Wear & Bring for the Ultralight Flight

  • Warm, windproof layers: the open cockpit is cold at altitude, even on sunny days
  • Closed-toe shoes
  • Sunglasses and sunscreen
  • Hair tie and nothing loose that could blow away. Personal cameras must be secured; a GoPro mounted on the wing can record your flight for an extra fee
  • Your passport or a copy for registration

Mesmerising Himalaya Trip

I booked 90 min, Ultra light flight ride in Pokhara, Nepal through North Nepal Travel and Treks and their service was excellent. I had a wonderful experience. Watched beautiful innermost sceneries of Annapurna. Watched each peaks, the glaciers, lakes, base camps and so on. I must say it bumped my heart with numerous joys and wonder. Took wonderful photos and videos of the snow capped Himalaya. A life time experience achieved. The owner, Mr. Mohan Bhandari is an amazing and very amiable person who arranged me this marvellous trip. A heartily huge thanks to him. I wish their every success. I recommend all travellers throughout the world to avail their service for a nice memorable trip in Nepal.
