The one hour Balloon Flight from Kathmandu shows you one of the most spectacular views you are ever likely to see -ballooning is the only way to get a 360 degree view of the world's highest mountain range, the Himalayas.

Ascending above the ground one sees the red roofed houses and the bustle of Durbar Square, over the stupas and temples of Kathmandu Valley, and drift slowly and silently over the emerald green terraced paddy fields. We rise seemingly level with the mountain tops - from where we experience a spectacular panorama extending north over the beautiful rugged peaks of the Langtang and Canesh Himal, across range after range, to Mt. Everest against the horizon. There is something unique and very appealing about a wicker basket and more than 200 years of history. In Nepal , the pace is easy - so the world's slowest and oldest means of flight is a great way to appreciate it.
