I left for Nepal on February 4, 2011 and returned home on February 15.

I was able to fly with Annapurna in Nepal in the background.

Arrival in Kathmandu, transfer to a domestic flight again and fly for about 30 minutes.

Arriving in Pokhara, the place felt familiar, and I felt warm at the familiar scenery.

Saranggot Glide Pad (where you can fly with Annapurna and Machapuchare on your back) Take-off site altitude 1,450m above sea level
The altitude of the landing site was 700m above sea level, and there were about three takeoff sites and three landing sites.

The most impressive flight was at the Austrian Camp Glider (2,100m above sea level) at Dambus Lodge.
This is a gliding site that can be reached by staying overnight and walking for 1 hour and 20 minutes at dawn.

This is a place where only mid- to advanced-level passengers can fly because the take-off area is small.

As the climb was difficult, beautiful scenery awaited us, and it was a wonderful flight that lived up to our expectations.

Including this trip, I have been to many countries and places in Europe, China, Japan, Indonesia, Malaysia, and Nepal.
I don't think there has ever been a happier trip than this one.
The reason was the meeting of truly good and heart-warming people.
Suddenly, for me, traveling became a place where I went not to see a different side of the country or a different culture, but just to meet people.

I am looking forward to 2011, which started with a meaningful journey.

We will prepare for a fun and safe flight in Nepal.

We will make sure that this warm encounter becomes a trip where you can enjoy the sky, birds, and nature together.

thank you.
