Paragliding in Nepal

Paragliding in Nepal can be a truly wonderful and inspiring experience for the adventure seekers. A trip will take you over some of the best scenery on earth as you share airspace with Himalayan griffin vulture, eagles, kites and float over mystery-shrouded monasteries, beautiful turquoise lakes, exotic jungles, and ancient villages in the backdrop of a fantastic view of the majestic Annapurnas and Dhaulagiri mountains. Gliding is a weather- dependent sport 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 Sarangkot (1,592 m) which also offers photographic opportunities of the entire Annapurna range, beautiful landscape of the Pokhara valley, Mt. Fishtail (Machhapuchhre), Lamjung himal, Annapurna himal, Himchuli, Phewa lake, Rice terrace, Raging rivers and streams along with sunrise and sunset views (provided the skies are clear) from the air. No previous experience is required because the qualified pilots provide a short briefing before taking off.

Paragliding tour in the sky lasts from 20 to 30 minutes, depending on weather conditions of the day.
