Dear Baral  
This was the first time I booked directly through the WEB , and I thought it's a little risky, especially when I had to send my money to Katmandu and I wend to Delhi .

Mountain Flight
   
   
  For those who are restricted by time or other considerations from going trekking in the, there are mountain flights that offer a panoramic encounter with the highest peaks on earth. The plane departs from Kathmandu and flies alongside the Himalaya to give you eye-level view of the snow peaks and then bring you back in one hour. You will see Shisa Pangma (8013), Dorje Lakpa (6966m), Choba Bhamre (5933m), Gauri Shankar (7134m ), Melungtse (7023m), Numbur 6956m, Karyolung 6511m, Cho Oyu ( 8201m), Gyachungkang ( 7952m), Punor ( 7161m), Nuptse ( 7855m) and the Everest ( 8848m).
 

The mountain flights are operated by various domestic airlines of Nepal with their Beech crafts, Dorniers, Avro, SAAB, EMB and ATR-42.

   
Bungy Jump
  In Nepal may be the most spectacular Bungy Jump on the Planet. This remarkable 500ft (160m) drop into the Bhoti Kosi River gorge on the Nepal/Tibet border may also be the greatest Bungy jump length in the world. It is about 3 hours drive from Kathmandu to Bhote Koshi River Gorge.
   
Hot Air Ballooning
  The best way to view the Kathmandu Valley and Himalayan Panorama. Give yourself the thrill of looking down on the mother earth, suspended at an altitude of 10,00 feet. Gaze into the majestic Himalayas and bask in all its glory.

One hour on the balloon will leave you with memories to last a lifetime.

   
Cable Car Ride
   
   
  Goddess Manakamana has since long the reputation as " The wish fulfilling goddess". Thousands of devotees visit the shrine with a strong belief that the goddess will fulfill their wishes.The shrine is located 6 kilometers north of Mugling on the Kathmandu-Pokhara Highway. This is situated on a prominent ridge (1302m) overlooking the river valleys of Trishuli to the south and Marshyangdi to the west. From here one can see deep valleys, terraced fields and the snow range of Manaslu-Himalchuli and the Annapurna Himal. The spectacular views are truly worth the trip.
The cable cars cover the 2.8-km stretch from Sheres along the highway right up to the temple in less than 10 minutes. Each car has capacity of 6 passengers.
