Discover Nepal's Beauty from Sky: Hot Air Balloon Ride with Hamro Safar

Imagine watching the world below change into an amazing painting while floating above the clouds. In Nepal, hot air balloon rides are a truly spectacular experience that allows you to see the breathtaking scenery from a viewpoint that few others get to see. While trekking lets you explore Nepal's natural beauty up close, nothing compares to drifting peacefully through the sky, surrounded by towering Himalayan peaks.

Through our exclusive partnership with Balloon Nepal, Hamro Safar brings you this unforgettable experience - and you can SAVE Rs. 1000 or $10 on your booking!

After your sky-high adventure, you should balance the thrill with peaceful moments at a meditation retreat in Nepal, which is famous for. This hot air balloon experience is safe, accessible, and creates memories you'll treasure forever.
