Ride a Trike Ultralight Aircraft

If you want to admire snow-capped mountains, gently flowing rivers, and serene lakes, what would you do?

In Nepal, there is one of the most exciting and unforgettable experiences you can choose – flying in a hang glider, dancing with nature. This is a game for the brave, and you will gain the ultimate sightseeing experience.

A trike ultralight aircraft is a small plane mainly used for sightseeing and photography. It flies at a slow speed and can only accommodate two people. The flight takes you close to Machhapuchhre (Fishtail Mountain), and with a 60-minute or longer flight package, you can even see its distinct fishtail-shaped peak from the side. However, space for photography is limited, and the aircraft’s support cables may obstruct the view. Additionally, since the cabin is open-air, it can get extremely cold at high altitudes—so be sure to dress warmly!

Put on a thick cotton flight suit, wear a helmet and goggles, then take to the skies! Head toward the snow line of the Himalayas and chase the sunrise!

Gliding parallel to the mountain at a critical distance of just 300 meters, the vast snowy slopes sweep past your side, with the snow-covered peaks seemingly within reach. A single turn reveals the glacier’s intricate patterns, as clear as palm lines. When the aircraft enters an updraft zone, it ascends continuously—like a thrilling roller coaster in the sky.

If you reach the mountain peak at sunrise, you may become part of the breathtaking spectacle of Golden Mountain Glow. Witness up close as the first rays of sunlight bathe the snowy peaks in a golden hue—a truly sacred and unforgettable moment.

During the flight, the pilot will occasionally remind you to look to one side of the aircraft, where a camera is mounted to capture the fleeting beauty of the scenery. You can take home a perfect photo, preserving those thrilling and beautiful memories. In addition to the camera, the aircraft is equipped with a video camera to record the entire flight. If desired, the footage can be burned onto a DVD, providing you with a dynamic visual record of your adventure. Years later, it will surely become an experience you’ll proudly look back on as one of your coolest adventures.

This was a very special trip for my big birthday where I wanted to take my two sons to China. Our travel professional was Jane, who answered my million questions, promptly and with the utmost patience. She provided us with the right apps to use, transportation assistance, personable and knowledgeable local guides who spoke English. Everything was absolutely perfect and I encourage anyone taking a big trip, to give yourself plenty of time. It took me 10 months to plan with Jane’s help. I plan to use Best Asia Tours again!

We traveled to China during 05th May to 17th May, 2026. Here goes our comment.

Guilin & Yangshuo:

Mr. Tom was an excellent guide in every aspect. He made every experience a great adventure and beyond. With his energy and knowledge, he adjusted the schedule with extra activities such as visiting the pandas, which made it extra special. He is good at explaining everything in a clear and succinct way, since much is guiding us, we loved our time in China and couldn’t have done it without Tom. He is also frequently offering helpful knowledge we very much appreciated. He also took great pictures of us. Mr. Kong, the driver is very courteous & flexible.

Zhangjiajie, Furong & Fenghuang town:

Allen is a capable and smart guide who has an optimistic and patient personality. We feel fortunate to have her. She is very good at arranging the schedule and navigating the towns’ sights in an efficient manner. We appreciate her help to negotiate with the photographer and provide us good seats and advice. The driver Mr. Lee is a safe & excellent driver who is courteous to us, other drivers and pedestrians. We thoroughly enjoyed our time in the Zhengzhou area. The hotel was excellent!

Beijing:

Ray Liu is a very knowledgeable and smart guide with excellent English. We learned a lot from him about Chinese history, culture, and current life. He is on time and capable. He shared with us a lot of interesting facts and information, and it was easy to talk to him because he is friendly, talkative and has fluent English. Ray knows his way around & got us everywhere, and it was nice there was a charge port in the back. He can be more courteous to bikers & pedestrians, but we got everywhere safely.
