I had an incredible time on the hot air balloon ride with Day Trips Nepal. Our pilot, made sure we felt safe and comfortable throughout the journey. The views from the balloon were stunning, especially the Annapurna ranges. We floated over the picturesque Pokhara valley and saw the Phewa Lake reflecting the peaks. The ride was smooth and peaceful, and the pilot pointed out various landmarks. It was a unique and exhilarating experience that I would highly recommend!

The hot air balloon ride in Pokhara with was a good experience. The views of the Fishtail and Dhaulagiri mountain ranges were indeed spectacular, and the sight of Phewa Lake from above was mesmerizing. However, I felt that the experience was slightly rushed and could have been better timed to capture more of the sunrise. Overall, it was a memorable adventure.
