… for USD 120, I definitely can!
Took an early morning mountain flight with the Avia Flying Club Nepal on Friday. During the 30 min flight from Pokhara’s tiny airport, we headed as closely as we could to the Annapurna Mountain Range. Managed to catch a glimpse of both the peaks of Mt. Fishtail and Annapurna South although they were surrounded by a thick cloud of dust/haze. It hasn’t been raining in this region for a week now, leading to pretty bad visibility of the surrounding mountains. Dearly wished for two things during my flight…
1) that I was in Nepal in October and not June, as the visibility during the autumn/winter months is meant to be perfect!
2) that I am not on my way back to being a debt ridden student, and thus not able to fund a 1 hour trip vs a 30 min one. Would have been able to get up much closer to the mountains with a longer flight…
Will be uploading pics into the photo gallery soon
