Fly Like A Bird ! Ever since man first looked up
at the sky, he was yearned to glide and soar
like an eagle in the sky. Parasailing and
Paragliding are indeed, experiences that combine
the wonder of smooth sailing in the air and the
thrill of soaring high above the ground. Once in
the air, one may experience the ethereal
serenity of the sport. It is an experience that
is surprisingly, thrilling as well as becalming.
Para gliding uses "thermals' as the driving
force, and is the closest one can get, to being
a bird. In perfect weather conditions one can
stay aloft for over three hours and can soar to
heights more than 3,000m.
Nepal forms a rectangle on the southern slopes
of the Himalaya and is without exception, the
most stunning country imaginable. The main area
for paragliding is the Pokhara valley,
commanding views of 3 of the worlds 8000m peaks
with friendly and constant conditions for your
paragliding holiday.
Tandem flying involves a pilot flying with a
passenger. Both have separate harnesses that are
attached to each other and the wing. Paragliding
harnesses are built for comfort and safety, they
feel more like an armchair. Once launched the
passenger just sits back, relaxes and takes in
the epic scenery. Even taking pictures is not a
problem. Due to the portable nature and easy
launch characteristics of a paraglider (they fit
into a rucksack) We can take them anywhere and
fly them from most mountains in Nepal.
We take a 20 min jeep ride from Pokhara to
Sarangkot the viewpoint 2000ft above Lakeside.
From here we can see 3 of the highest mountains
in the world. Dhaulagiri, Annapurna, Manasulu,
all over 8000 m. We offer 3 types of tandem
flight from here.
