Among the many adventure sports in
Nepal, ballooning is a more recent development. A ride on a hot
air balloon is incomparable. The silence; the unimpeded 360 deg.
view of the land below; the fresh air that you breath make it a
unique experience. Flying 3000m above the Kathmandu valley gives
you the rare opportunity to see the whole of the valley as well
as the Himalayas at the same time. The rich green terraced hills
and patches of rice fields lie like a carpet below, while you
strain to identify various landmarks. The massive dome of
Boudhanath is unmistakable while the open space of the airport
catches your eye. In the west, Swayambhunath glistens in the
early morning sunlight surrounded by brown boxes that are in
fact brick houses that predominate Kathmandu city. But what
steals your heart and leaves you in awe is the grand spectacle
of the snow-clad Himalayan mountain chain shinning in all their
glory. Suddenly you find yourself detached from the world below,
away from the trappings of 21st century distractions, pollution
and confusion of a growing modern city. It is a time to reflect,
relax and enjoy your excursion. This one-hour flight seems too
short as you leave the peace and quiet and head back to earth.
But the experience will last a lifetime, locked away somewhere
in the recesses of your mind.
