| Paragliding In Nepal |
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, Manaslu,
all over 8000 m. We offer 3 types of tandem flight from here.
