Ultra Light Aircraft is a small light weight airplane with an engine. Once launched in to the air, this aircraft, in the right conditions can switch off its engine and glide through the air almost like a hang-glider. The cockpit can be either enclosed or open depending on the aircraft. It gets its name for its light weight frame and was originally designed to be a cheap way for the armature air sport recreationalist to get air borne.
Avia Club Nepal is the pioneer in ultra-aircraft aviation in Nepal, its aircraft was introduced in Nepal in 1996, and the operator has been offering sightseeing Tours, spectacular views of the lakes, mountains and villages in the Pokhara Valley. This is an ideal way to see life from a new perspective. The choice of Pokhara for ultra-light aircraft is appropriate chiefly because of the proximity of the mountain, and the scenic lakes.

For those who wish they could fly like birds, this flight is a must. Leave your woes behind on earth, soar to heights, bathe in the clouds, reach out for the mountains and kiss the azure sky. It might be lonely at the top, but the spectacular view from high up there certainly makes up for everything.
