Nepal hosts hot air balloon festival

Deccan Chronicle  

Tourism is a major earner for Nepal, which saw over a million foreign visitors this year after a post-pandemic bounceback, and investments are being made in hotels and airports to cater to travellers. "We felt that we must bring a balloon festival like this to Nepal," Sabin Maharjan, an organiser of the event, told AFP. "It is spectacular," American balloon pilot Derek Hamcock, 67, said. "You never know where you are going," said Diego Criado del Rey, 29, a balloon pilot from Spain. Nepal's Civil Aviation Authority issued a notice for the skies over Pokhara for a duration of nine days to allow balloon flights.
