What to Expect

Paragliding is like flying without wings! Soar high above stunning scenery and feel the rush of wind in your hair. It’s pure adrenaline and fantastic views all at once. Here’s what you can expect:

  • Stunning Scenery: Nepal's diverse topography, from the Himalayas to lush valleys, provides a spectacular backdrop for your flight. You'll soar above lush forests, picturesque villages, and terraced fields and perhaps even catch glimpses of snow-capped peaks like Annapurna and Machhapuchhre.
  • Professional Guidance: Most paragliding operators in Nepal employ experienced pilots who prioritize safety. They'll provide pre-flight instructions and ensure you're securely strapped into your harness before takeoff.
  • Takeoff: Depending on the location, takeoff points can vary from mountainsides to hills. You'll typically run a few steps with your pilot before you're lifted off the ground. It's a thrilling moment as you feel the wind beneath your wings.
  • Flight Experience: Once airborne, you'll experience a sense of freedom unlike any other. Gliding through the air with only the sound of wind rushing past is both serene and exhilarating.
  • Duration:The duration of your flight can vary based on weather conditions and the package you choose, but it typically ranges from 15 minutes to an hour. Longer flights often offer more opportunities for sightseeing and exploration.
  • Weather Considerations: Weather plays a significant role in paragliding. Flights are usually scheduled during the morning or late afternoon when winds are more favorable and thermals are active. Be prepared for cancellations due to weather conditions.
  • Landing: Experienced pilots will guide you safely back to the ground, typically in an open field or designated landing zone. They'll instruct you on proper landing techniques so you touch down smoothly.
