Ultra Light Flight In Nepal
This is one of the nice options to engulf with Nepal’s
craggy, verdant and snowcapped mountains. Though this is little an adventurous,
there is no other way to save time up with such a nice way looking and
traveling down from the sky.
But this is currently operated in the Pokhara where the
flight takes off. It offers spectacular and dramatic views of the lakes,
mountains and villages in much more safe way than paragliding without any
physical and mental strain.
This is a one day program at Pokhara. So, Everest Crest’s
Ultra Light Flight package can be combined with other activities in Nepal.

The Craft And The
Safety
The available crafts are of plane, and cruise model which
are manufactured in Russia and are powered by Rotax 582 engines.
These crafts have got two seats on each and carry one pilot
and one passenger in every flight. The operational speed ranges from 50 km/h to
130 km/h. These aircraft can continuously fly for four hours and reach the
height of 5,000 meter flying 300 km at a stretch. Their high aerodynamic
qualities allow this delta wing aircraft to perform long flights with engine
turned off. On the other hand, their unique design includes a ballistic
parachute system, which enables the aircraft to land safely during emergencies.
The operations are controlled by Civil Aviation Authority of
Nepal, which checks pilots’ proficiency & the condition of the aircraft.
The insurance policy conforms to the rules for the
Passenger, Aircraft, Pilot and the third parties, which means we are insured
just as other domestic flights.
These ultra light aircrafts are designed to carry passengers
safely along with providing both sides open for the best of viewing outside.
Everything makes you feel like you are flying like a bird.
