There can't be a much more stunning way to see the Himalayas at sunrise than from high above
Kathmandu in a Hot-Air Balloon. I passed one of these flights on the way out to the Bhote kosi
recently and the view from high above the smog and pollution must be truly amazing.
Balloon Sunrise are based in Kathmandu on Lazimpat. They're Internet Web link is currently
broken but they can be contacted by phone on a Kathmandu number
(977) 1 424131.
Most agencies, and indeed many hotels, can arrange the flight details for you, the price I
was quoted in Thamel for a 1 hour flight in April was $195 US.
As soon as the 'net link is working I'll update this page, let me know if you've done the
flight and I'll update the page with any stories you have.
If there is no Navigation Bar on the Left of this page it is likely that you have entered
from an old search-engine address.
