Paragliding in Nepal presents you with a captivating experience of flying across the skies and enjoying the bird’s eye view of the amazing scenery of Nepal.
Most people have dreamed at least once of soaring like a bird across the skies. Aero planes have made this dream a reality, but it’s not quite how most people envisioned it. A much better way to experience this amazing feeling is Paragliding.
Specially, Paragliding in Nepal takes the experience to another level. Freely flying with the eagles and hawks above bustling cities, quaint villages, lush forests, verdant hills, tranquil lakes and enjoying the view of some of the highest peaks in the world, what more could a person ask for. It is one of the most popular activities among both local and international tourists in Nepal.
The main location for Paragliding in Nepal is in the Annapurna region, particularly around Pokhara. The takeoff point is at the Sarangkot (1,600m) hill station. The mesmerizing scenery of the Annapurna region comprising of peaks like Annapurna, Machhapuchhare, Dhaulagiri and lakes like Phewa and Begnas have made Pokhara one of the most popular paragliding destinations in the whole world.
Aside from Pokhara, occasional paragliding is done in places like Kathmandu, Tanahun, Nuwakot, Gorkha etc. Regular paragliding is starting soon in Kathmandu to facilitate the incoming tourists during Visit Nepal 2020.
The flying season for Paragliding in Nepal is from November to February. November and December are considered the best months of the year for Paragliding in Nepal. A variety of options are available such as Tandem flight, Cloud flight, Cross valley, Acrobatic etc. The tour can be performed by anyone as our professional pilots will take care of all necessities and provide you with full briefing before the flight. As such, prior experience is not necessary either.
