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, Manasulu, all over 8000 m. We offer 3 types
of tandem flight from here.
