Hot air ballooning in Pokhara is one of the adventure activity which can make you feel like a bird flying in the high sky. In Nepal, ballooning offers the beautiful view of sunrise, the Himalayan ranges and peaks, and the mesmerizing lake of Pokhara city. It is conducted in Pokhara only, the city of lakes and caves.

Pokhara is 204.4 km away from Kathmandu and you can reach there in about 6 hours by road, or you can take a scenic flight of 30 minutes too. Then, you can transfer to Dhanpus or Lauruk, from where the balloon ride will take off.

Hot air ballooning was started a long time ago but it was stopped due to some reasons. But now it has again started with a bang offer of getting chance of flying 5 times a day i.e. balloon is permitted to fly for 5 times a day (but initially it will fly for two times: morning and afternoon).

It will fly 500m above the Pokhara city providing the spectacular view of mountains like Annapurna range, the Fishtail (Machhapuchhre), Dhaulagiri, Hiunchuli, Lamjung Himal, lakes, forests, and as a whole valley. On a clear day, the observed scenario remains even more breathtaking. The landing of balloon takes place in the bank of Mardi River.

The best months for a hot air balloon flight are September, October, November, December, January, February, March, April, May which excludes the months of monsoon season (June, July, August). The flights take place daily during these months but also depend upon the wind and its direction of flow (eastward or westward across the valley).

People recommend different mountain flights and aircraft motions, but hot air ballooning is much more promising one than others as you will be on the basket and can enjoy the nature swinging on the air.

Nepal Trek Adventure offers you the opportunity to enjoy this adventurous sport without letting you bother about the prices, time schedules, and training/orientation program. You can book this sport with us and put all the responsibility on our shoulder and just enjoy this bold journey.

We will organize the whole trip for you including the hotel bookings, food and accommodation, and other facilities if you demand them. It will be easier for you to manage your time and schedule as you may be new to this natural land. You are heartily welcome to naturally Nepal where you can fly like a bird and overview its beauty with complete serenity.

    Flying Adventure with Pokhara Balloon

    In one word, Amazing! Never would I have imagined the ride to be so much fun.  The view of the Mountain ranges from the Pokhara balloon ride was a treat to the eyes. The Pokhara valley just beneath us looked so magical. The Phewa Lake, the green landscapes, the snow-capped mountains were just so satisfying to the eyes. I have done a helicopter ride to the surrounding mountain, Mount Annapurna, Dhaulagiri, and Machhapuchhre. I say this balloon ride is even better.  Looking at the red sun through the clouds from the basket was just like a dream. The cool breeze will make you more and more excited the higher up you go. Thank you, the Nepal Trek Adventures Team for the great arrangements. I had some trouble finding the company and after finding you guys, everything went smoother. I am very happy that you helped me with such short notice. I highly recommend the Nepal Trek Adventures for great customer service and fast response to any queries. Prescribed one!

    Perfect Selfie in Hot Air Balloon Basket

    I am addicted to social media. I take pictures of myself whenever I can and upload them to Instagram. But taking pictures isn’t easy, as you do activities like paragliding, rafting, and others as the body is constantly moving. The hot air balloon ride is different. You fly high in the sky and enjoy the beautiful view of the snow peaks and the valleys while staying inside the cozy balloon basket. Taking photos of the beautiful landscape was never a problem. The selfie I took with the stunning snow peak background came out great. I loved the hot air balloon ride with the NTA team. I strongly recommend this ride to all.
