Best TimeOct to Mar for the clearest views

An ultralight is a small two-seat aircraft: you sit just behind the pilot with the wind on your face, and the whole of Pokhara, Phewa Lake and the Annapurna range open up around you. On a clear morning it is one of the best views you can get of Machhapuchhre without walking for a week.

You choose how long to fly. Fifteen minutes takes you over the lake and the old town. Thirty minutes goes up towards Machhapuchhre. Sixty minutes gets you close to the Annapurna range, and ninety minutes is the long flight deep along the mountains.

We pick you up from your Lakeside hotel, take you to the airfield and bring you back. The flight runs only when the weather is safe, and the pilot makes that call on the day.

Why Book This Trek With The Everest Holiday

Three Generations of Family Guides

Family-run since 2016 with three generations of guiding heritage. Not an agency — the family that runs the company leads your trek personally.

Private Group — No Strangers

Every trek we run is private. Your group only. We never combine bookings or add strangers to your party. If you book solo, you walk with a guide; if you book as four friends, your group stays four.

Nagarjun Learning Center Giveback

A fixed share of every booking funds the Nagarjun Learning Center — 70 children, 7 community centres, 3 full-time teachers, 600+ medical interventions, 275+ women supported. You see the impact at the centre on day 1.

Fixed departures are dates we have already committed to run. Your party still treks as its own private group with its own guide; we never merge bookings or add strangers, and solo trekkers are welcome on any date. Private departures on any other date you choose are also available. On both, the per-person price is set by the size of your own party.
