Hot Air Ballooning in Pokhara

Hot Air Ballooning in Pokhara is one of the most magical and unforgettable ways to experience Nepal’s stunning natural beauty. As you gently ascend above the charming lakeside city, the breathtaking sunrise reveals a spectacular view of the Annapurna Mountain Range, including famous peaks like Machhapuchhre and Dhaulagiri. Below, the serene Phewa Lake reflects the colours of dawn, while lush valleys, traditional villages, and scenic landscapes create a postcard-perfect aerial view.

Unlike fast-paced adventure activities, hot air ballooning is peaceful and calming, making it ideal for families, couples, honeymooners, and photography enthusiasts. Most flights operate early in the morning when the weather is calm, ensuring safety and the best clear-sky visibility.

For many travellers, Hot Air Ballooning in Pokhara becomes the highlight of their Nepal adventure — a once-in-a-lifetime experience filled with serenity, thrill, and unforgettable Himalayan views.

As you may know, Balloon Nepal operates hot air balloon flights in Pokhara from September to April, while operations remain closed during May to August due to the monsoon season. We are delighted to inform you that our balloon flights have resumed from September 2025. So, if you have any interest or bookings for your clients, please feel free to reach out to us.
