Ready to see the Annapurnas the way the eagles do? Launch from Sarangkot Hill, 1,600 metres above Pokhara, and glide for 25-30 minutes over Phewa Lake with the Annapurna and Machhapuchhre (Fishtail) peaks filling the horizon. You'll fly tandem with a CAAN-licensed pilot who handles the flying entirely — no experience, fitness test or prior training required.
After hotel pickup from Lakeside and a short drive up to the launch point, your pilot will run you through a safety briefing and harness fit before you take off together. The flight itself is calm and controlled rather than a stomach-drop thrill — most of the "adventure" is the view, not the sensation.
This is one of the most photographed flights in Asia for a reason. Bring a GoPro or add our photo/video package to take the moment home.
