Paragliding in Nepal allows an aerial view of the Himalayas. A trip will take you over some of the best scenery on earth, as you share airspace with Himalayan griffin vultures, eagles, kites and float over villages, monasteries, temples, lakes, and jungle, with a fantastic view of the majestic Himalaya. Pokhara, the beautiful lakeside town at the foot of the Annapurna Mountains offers paragliding services. The best season is from October through April.
If you want to make yourself feel like a pilot, you can try our training ultralight “Tundra” 9N-AIS, or “Kruiz” 9N-ANC where you’ll be sitting next to the pilot, side by side. The humankind always had a dream. Throughout history, constructing wings and balloons, jumping off cliffs and building engines, humans always wanted to experience the same freedom in the sky as the birds. Even today the dream of flying silently in the sky is realized by only a select few. Paragliding is a testament to human success in realizing this dream. Since it’s inception, paragliding has spread all over the world as people searched for new places to explore their new-found freedom and ability. Your Short Flight will be only 25 min or Long Flight will be 50 min. And it only operates from Pokhara.

Best time to fly:Gliding is a weather dependent sport and the flying season in Nepal commences from November through February, the best month being November and December. The topography and climate of Nepal also make it an ideal destination for all levels of pilots- subtropical conditions provide plenty of thermals and combined with the long valleys common in Nepal, they produce perfect "cloud streets' ideal for paragliders, inviting them to fly along with 'sky highway'. The local climate, controlled by numerous lakes in the Pokhara valley, is unique, which makes it even better for the gliders.

The best sites for Paragliding:The main area for flying is in the Annapurna region, especially the Pokhara valley, situated at the foot of the Annapurna Himalaya. There are several sites around Phewa Lake but the most accessible and Popular is Sarnagkot(1529 mts). With the lake 700 m below, the mountains behind, and the unlimited potential and out and returns, Sarangkot has now become the most popular site for paragliding. We also find too many other sites around the valley but all need to be walked up. At 6000 ft, one just has to sit back with the qualified pilot who takes on an unforgettable journey. The national open paragliding championship is being held every year in January. This championship sees a gathering of international and domestic paragliders.
