 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.
Phewa Tal View : In the morning and late
afternoon these 15min flights give you a taste
of unpowered flight, taking you over Pokhara
lake and then landing by a Lakeside bar.
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,
30min - 1 hour. We land by the lake.
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. |
