No doubt, flights are awesome but Ultra light flying is something else. It’s the coolest way to explore any place and the majestic view there with no rush or hassle. No new in the adventure world, Ultralight aviation has been serving people for more than a century now.
It’s the same case in Nepal as well since Pokhara started the ultralight flying from 1997. Lying in the same old place, the city is just perfect for the activity with all the splendid views and height.
Flyers will be literally racing to grab all the views till the flight lasts. The scenery offered by Pokhara is beyond imagination varying from tranquil lakes to wildlands and rivers.
Moreover, there’s a sweeping vista of snow-capped mountains like Annapurna and stunning landscapes. With all this, it hardly makes us doubt on how Ultralight Flying made it in our list of insanely awesome adventures in Nepal.
Paragliding
For sure it’s fun paragliding and when it takes the speed, it’s even more exciting. One of the most insanely awesome adventures in Nepal, paragliding is all about free flying.
The idea of parahawking was first set in motion at Pokhara in 2007. From the time since then, the city has taken the activity to commercial and constantly upscaled it.
There’s a continuous energy and momentum involved in the adventure. The rising flight and speed depends on the wind directed upward. Meanwhile, the pilot steers the flight along with the length in a sloppy area with the help of air.

The highest speed you can hit up to during zip-line in Pokhara is 120km per hour. If you aren’t satisfied with that or want to have an alternative then try out for the adventure in Dhulikhel.
Jungle Safari
Nepal has always been home to countless wildlife reserves and national parks. Without letting it be contaminated, these places have preserved the biodiversity and rare wild species all these years.

Fishing in White Water River
Just because it’s exhilarating flying in the sky doesn’t mean it’s no fun fishing. For sure it takes more time than any other adventures and you need to have patience but the reward is sufficiently good.
