About Paragliding

The nearly rectangular nation of Nepal on the southern inclines of the Himalayas, is regardless, the most dazzling nation possible. The principal region for paragliding is the valley of Pokhara, with great views of three of the world’s eight-thousanders. The beautiful nature with astounding sceneries is the perfect setting for your paragliding experience in Nepal.

After you have completed your trekking and arrived in Pokhara, and looking to do something fruitful for the day, you can paraglide on that extra day. This city of lakes is a prominent destination for various sorts of adventure activities, paragliding being one of them. First we take a 20-minute jeep ride from Pokhara to the to of Sarangkot hill. The altitude is 2,000 ft with a large lake visible down below. In tandem paragliding, your seat feels more like an easy chair and less like a flying mechanism. Once dispatched, you just sit back and enjoy the beautiful landscapes in all directions. We strongly suggest you bring your action-cam during paragliding.

It is one of the best ways to view the magnificence of Pokhara. The glider taking off from Sarangkot, the number-one vantage point for sunrise and sunset views, takes you on a flying adventure with sightseeing of the Annapurna range, green hills and valleys, and beautiful lakes. It is a bewitching and unreserved experience that you are sure to value forever.

Sarangkot is a destination for paragliding. Here we will experience the beautiful event. Besides, watching sunrise from this place is amazing experience of life. The way the sun kisses the snow-capped peak is not expressed in words.

Davis Falls, Shiva Cave, Mahendra Cave, do boating in Phewa Lake (largest lake of the city) and visit Bindhyabashini Temple (the temple is located at the centre of the lake) are today’s major activities.
