After the balloon reaches Sarangkot hill, the view of the Annapurna mountain range can be seen.
The company has stated that the flights will be operated every month except Ashar, Shrawan and Bhadra (June to August) when the weather is favorable.
The company has stated that the adventure will cost Nepalis Rs 8,000 per person and foreigners Rs 100 USD (Nepali Rs 12,600) per person. The company also has insurance worth $20,000 per person. The flight duration of the balloon will be 30 to 40 minutes.
At the bottom of the 21-meter-high balloon is a 32-square-foot basket. In a basket, 8 people can travel at the same time.
