What’s the experience like?

Someone’s laughing behind me — I can hear it even through the wind. The harness digs into my shoulder a bit as we run together off the edge at Toripani, shoes scraping loose gravel, and then suddenly there’s nothing under my feet. Our pilot, Suman, just grins and points out where the clouds are clearing over the Annapurnas. It’s quieter up here than I expected, except for that soft hiss of air and the way my heart thumps. Pokhara is spread out below like a patchwork quilt, and Phewa Lake flashes blue in the sunlight to our left. I try to wave at a tiny boat but honestly, my hands are kind of glued to the straps.

Suman asks if I want to try some “crazy stunts” above Pame valley — I say yes before I really think about it. The world tips sideways; my stomach goes one way, my laughter another. He snaps photos while we spin (I’m not sure how he manages both), promising they’ll send them later so I can prove this actually happened. There’s a faint smell of pine from somewhere below, or maybe that’s just in my head because everything feels sharper up here — colors, wind, even time seems to stretch out.

The landing comes faster than I’d like. A van waits on the grass with another group cheering someone’s first flight. My legs wobble when I stand up (don’t judge), but Suman claps me on the back and says everyone does that their first time. Later, back in town, I keep replaying that moment when Pokhara fell away beneath us — it’s still hard to believe how light you can feel for twenty minutes.
