In a balloon decorated with the all seeing eyes of Buddha', we ascend above the red roofed houses and the bustle of Durbar Square, over the stupas and temples of Kathmandu Valley and drift silently over the emerald green terraced paddy fields. We raise seemingly level with the mountain tops- from where we experience a spectacular panorama extending north over the beautiful rugged peaks of the Langtang and Ganesh 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 of flight is a great way to appreciate it. In just one hour we show you one of the most spectacular views you are ever likely to see ballooning is the only way to get a 360-degree vies of the world's highest mountain range, the Himalayas. Nepal is a land legendary beauty and Kathmandu is both the capital and the heart of Nepal. Set in a valley and completely surrounded by the snow-capped peaks of the Himalayan the city remained to the western world until the 1950s.
