RAT5 : This part of Nepal is very unlike New guinea. I have been flying myself around Pokhara 3 years ago. Pokhara itself is relatively low ( 2700 ft) , Jomson is up the pass considerably higher (8800ft) and wind is often a problem, although at this time ( early morning) it should be OK.
Weather can change very rapidly there.
