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.
