Hot air ballooning is a popular tourist activity in Pokhara, Nepal. It offers stunning views of the Annapurna Mountain Range and Phewa Lake, and is a truly unforgettable experience.
The hot air balloon rides in Pokhara typically take off at sunrise or sunset, when the weather is calm and clear. The flights last for about 30-40 minutes and take you up to a height of about 1,000 feet.
As you float above the valley, you will be able to see the snow-capped peaks of the Annapurnas, the sparkling waters of Phewa Lake, and the lush green hills of the surrounding countryside. It is a truly magical experience that you will never forget.
