Hot Air Balloon operations in Pokhara, which had been temporarily halted for approximately three months due to the monsoon season, are poised to resume on September 1st. Hot Air Ballooning is an exhilarating tourist activity, and the most recent adventure was led by Vikram Bade, the President of Balloon Nepal.
Ascending to heights of up to 6,000 feet in the Hot Air Balloon promises enchanting views of the Annapurna range, the expansive Fewa Lake, Pumdi Kot Mahadev, Sarangkot, and the picturesque environs of Pokhara.
