The ultralight slips off the tarmac before dawn, the propeller whispering as Pokhara's lights shrink below. Morning mist lifts from Fewa Lake and the Annapurna massif begins to show its teeth—glittering ridges and the massive face of Annapurna I (8,091 m) looming like a living map. From the open cockpit the city, the lakes, and the falls stitch together into a single panorama that nudges you forward.
