Trip Overview
Paragliding in Pokhara is a flying adventure in Nepal in Pokhara.
The simple engine free aircraft fits easily into a rucksack and weighs around 12 kgs. The passenger can foot launch and gently foot land again with minimum effort.
Due to the portable nature and easy launch characteristics of a paraglider, it can be taken anywhere and fly from most of the mountains in Nepal especially in Annapurna region.
Paragliding in Pokhara offers various kinds of tours. For the beginners three day introductory course or tandem (where one can fly with an instructor) is offered. The experienced one can fly themselves. However, for the tourist, it is available for one hour and half an hour trip.
Tandem Flights: Tandem flying involves flying with a passenger: both have separate harnesses that are attached to each other and the wing. Paragliding harnesses are very comfortable and safe which feel like an armchair allowing the passengers to sit back, relax, enjoy the scenery and even take picture.
