Paragliding

PARAGLIDING
Paragliding is a relatively new adventure sport in Nepal. It is truly wonderful and fulfilling experience in this Himalayan country. You can experience unparalleled scenic grandeur as you share airspace with Himalayan griffin vultures, eagles, kites, while floating over villages, monasteries, temples, lakes and jungles, with a fantastic view of the majestic Himalayas.
The main area for flying in Nepal is the Annapurna region, more specifically the Pokhara valley. This lakeside town is Nepal’s second “city”, nestled at the foot of the Annapurna Himal. The views are unsurpassed here. Gliding is a weather dependent sports and the flying season in Nepal commences from November through February, the best months being November and December. The take -off point for these flights is Sarankot (1592m.) which also offers prime views of Phewa lake and mountains at sunrise and sunset (provided the skies are clear) and the landing is by the Phewa lake. No previous experience is required as qualified pilots provide a short briefing before launching.
