More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You stand at Sarangkot's grassy lip with the lake and mountains opening before you: a patchwork of rice terraces below, Phewa Lake flashing like a coin, and the sharp ridge of Machhapuchhre pointing at the sky. The wind checks, your pilot clips the harness, and the hillside seems to tip forward—then you are airborne, drifting above Pokhara with the Annapurna and Dhaulagiri ranges drawing closer.
