More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
A brisk mountain wind picks you up long before the runway appears—green terraces fall away beneath you and Phewa Lake glints like a dark coin. At takeoff, the pilot times a running push and the hillside seems to release you; the world widens into Annapurna peaks to the north and the bustle of Lakeside below. Flight is quiet except for the whistle of air and the occasional instruction from your pilot as thermals lift the wing.
