Everyone has a wish to fly near the clouds, feel like a bird once in their lifetime, but then, the dream gets dropped because it is silly to think like that. If you cannot fly, you can paraglide instead, and both are quite similar. One of the purest forms of flying, paragliding is not everyone’s cup of tea. It is not identical to helicopter or airplane flights, but completely a different one. Most popular adventure activity in Nepal, paragliding is a sport for adventure junkies, that challenges them to see the world from bird’s eye while flying.

Getting trust issues, and feeling scared is common for paragliders, but the journey is relaxing and worth it, and you will not regret doing it. The view that comes while paragliding is priceless and provides you a lifetime experience. The aerial view, while paragliding, is better than any other way of experiencing it. 

Some people want to paraglide desperately but are not sure of the safety. To be precise, paragliding is safer than traveling in Nepal via buses. If you take a seasonal flight and fly with a licensed pilot, you are safe.

If you are planning to paraglide, and not sure where to get it done, Nepal is the perfect destination for you. The kingdom of mountains, Nepal, lets you enjoy the majestic panoramic views of the mountains, and a lake beneath you, with forests and hills on your side. There are several places in Nepal where you can paraglide in a tandem or solo, but the most popular one is Sarangkot, Pokhara. For solo flights, you will require authorized license and permission from the Government body.

Paragliding on Pokhara provides the most breathtaking view of three mountains above 8000 m, a beautiful Phewa Lake beneath, and the look of the entire city. The city has a consistent climate for paragliding, and it has been more than a decade of establishment of paragliding in Sarangkot Hill. Home to several adventure activities like bungee, canyoning, zipline, rafting, etc., Pokhara is a junction for tourists looking for an extreme adrenaline rush.

The best time to paraglide is from October to the end of April. In these months, there are 250 average flights each day, and you will have to make an early booking to paraglide on your desired time and day. In the case of weather problems, the paragliding will be canceled or postponed. To paraglide, one must not exceed 270 pounds of weight, including the pilot and equipment load. It can be 20 to 45 minutes long for custom flights for prices NPR 4,000 to NPR 8,000 for Nepalese and foreigners, respectively. You will receive a pick and drop service too.
