During the monsoon season (June to August),rain often delays or cancels flights due to rain — so it’s best to avoid planning your trip around this period.

What to Bring
When you fly with pilot in Pokhara, comfort matters as much as safety. Comfortable closed-toe shoes are best for take-off and landing.
