Paragliding In Nepal |
|
Of all the
popular paragliding spots in
the world, Nepal holds
countless such technically
suitable spots and landscape
for this adventure sports
activities. This is
primarily due to the
topography of Nepal. Despite
the existence of such
possibilities, we have not
still been able to identify
the areas accurately.
Likewise, those areas which
have already been identified
as potential paragliding
spots with attractive
landscape still lack the
proper infrastructure making
the paragliding operation
impracticable. Despite these
hurdles, Nepal still remains
Paraglider's preferred
destination luring
adventurers from all over
the world.
Forming a rectangle on the
southern slopes of the
Himalaya, Pokhara and its
periphery without doubt
offers the most stunning
experience in Paragliding.
The beautiful lake city of
Pokhara remains an all year
round ideal spot in the
whole of Nepal for this
adventure sport, offering
awesome views of 3 of the
world's 8000 meter peaks
with ever friendly and
constant weather condition
for paragliding holiday.
The Trekking Agents
Association of Nepal (TAAN)
has been organizing an
annual International
Paragliding competition
called "Nepal open
Paragliding Championship"
since 1999 involving
participation from 29
countries. Out of the five
best Paragliding
destinations in the world
Pokhara of Nepal has been
rated as the Third most
famous destination.
Following are the various
types of Tandem Paragliding
activities which you can
choose from according to
your taste, preference and
availability of time. |

Paragliding In Details |
|
A: Tandem flying:
It involves a pilot flying with a passenger.
Both have separate harnesses that are
attached to each other and the wing.
Once launched the passenger just sits
back, relaxes and takes in the epic
journey, taking pictures and enjoying
the scenic view. Due to the portable
nature and easy launch characteristics
of a paraglider; fitting easily into
a rucksack, we are able to take them
anywhere and fly them from most of the
mountains in Nepal. Following are the
various kinds of Tandem flying activities:
1. Cloud buster:
This midday flight gives you the thrill
of high flight as we thermal up above
Sarangkot in the company of eagles and
vultures, for the duration of 30min
to 1 hour. We land by the lake.
2. Cross-country:
This offers you the chance to experience
flying from one valley to another. Using
thermals, clouds and birds to guide
us, we take you on an unforgettable
journey north of Pokhara towards the
big mountains. We fly as long as we
can and aim to return to Pokhara that
afternoon.
3. Acrobatic Flying:
In an Acrobatic flying you generally
loop, spin and spiral through the air.
Performing maneuvers called “Helicopter”
“SAT” “Back-fly” “Tumble” and “Wingover”
This 10-20 min flight will leave your
breathless.
4. Phewa Tal (Lake)
View
In the morning and late afternoon these
15min flights give you a taste of unpowered
flight, taking you over the Phewa Lake
and then landing by Lakeside.
B: Para trekking
(up to 10 days):
This is a rather exclusive Paragliding
Package conducted under the supervision
of an experienced pilot whereas the
clients are expected to be fully capable
of handling the flight themselves. We
provide food, accommodation and all
the required logistic but clients are
required to bring their own gears that
are necessary for this special flight.
