Questions and answers
How long is the Pokhara scenic helicopter flight?
About 45 to 60 minutes.
Can I use a drone?
Cameras are welcome, but drones are not permitted on board.
What is the best time of day?
Early morning or late afternoon for clear views and soft light.
Can the flight be rescheduled?
Yes, when weather is poor we reschedule to the next suitable time.
Pokhara packs lakes, hills and Himalayan peaks into a small area, which makes it an ideal short helicopter ride. The flight lifts off from Pokhara Airport and passes over Phewa Lake and the Tal Barahi temple, the World Peace Stupa and Sarangkot before following the Seti gorge.
Begnas and Rupa lakes complete the loop. Morning and late afternoon give the best light.
