If you are into adventure sports, then paragliding can be really fulfilling experience for you. If you are a thrill seeker, then this might just be another adventure you might want to cross off your bucket list, or, if you simply are one of those kind, who would like to try something out of your comfort zone, then this might be just right for you.
There are several ideal spots in Nepal for paragliding but Pokhara usually tops the list, as this beautiful city of lakes offers such a panorama that is rarely matched by other places.
Imagine a beautiful day, clear blue sky and you are gliding above scenic lakes and lush green vegetation, with Fishtail mountain and Annapurna range on horizon and gentle breeze soothes your face. With the fear of height taking backseat, now your soul soars like an eagle that is flying high and for once, you have come closer to feel what is like to have your own pair of wings. And if you are lucky, some exotic birds like- Himalayan Griffon Vulture, Golden Eagle, etc. might just hitchhike the flight with you, leaving you with an unforgettable experience of lifetime.
All the pilots are certified with many years of experience and most of the flights are tandem flight. Which basically means that most of the work is done by pilot, while you get to enjoy the beautiful scenery all around the valley. If you are licensed paraglider, you can go solo as well. All the equipment are top notch, so one need not worry about the quality and safety of their experience.
For those interested, Sherpa Village Adventures Treks can also arrange training courses, which usually lasts five days. This beginner level course includes, introduction to the equipment and its transport, care, and maintenance; pre-flight safety check; glider inflation and deflations; takeoff and landing procedures; theory of flight, meteorology and air law, speed control, etc.
Also, if one is interested in paragliding in another parts of Nepal, we do have associates who will materialize your wish to fly.
