Nepal is a fantastic place for adventure lovers because it has lots of natural beauty, like rivers, lakes, mountains, and forests. You can do exciting things here, such as rafting in rivers, boating on lakes, hiking in the mountains, and camping in the forests. These natural wonders make Nepal look incredibly beautiful.
If you prefer less intense adventures, you can try hot-air ballooning. It is a calm and peaceful way to see the world from above, just like birds do. In Nepal, hot-air ballooning has a special history. Back in 1991, Chris Dewhirst and his friend were the first to fly over Mount Everest in a hot-air balloon. Later, this became a famous activity in Nepal, but it briefly stopped in Kathmandu. Now, you can enjoy it again in Pokhara, a city known for its lakes and tourism.

If you are interested in hot-air ballooning or other outdoor recreational activities in Nepal, check out New Road Travel and Tours (NRTT). We can help you make your dream of floating in the sky and seeing Pokhara like an eagle come true with our special hot-air balloon package.
Hot air balloons in Pokhara are run by Balloon Nepal Pvt. Ltd. They were the first company to start doing hot air balloon rides in Nepal officially in 2018. And they have been doing it successfully ever since.
When you go on a hot air balloon ride, you get to float up high in the sky. It is super calm and peaceful, and you can see some amazing things. You will feel the cool mountain air, and you can see the beautiful Annapurna mountain range up in the north.
Also, in the morning, you can watch the sun come up, which makes Pokhara City and the nearby hills look really pretty. Moreover, they do evening rides where you can see the sunset in the west, which is just as fantastic.
