Paragliding

If you love to see the mountains up close but don’t want to climb to a hill top to do that, paragliding is the best option for you. Although there are several destinations to do paragliding in Nepal, people often point towards Pokhara city for the same. Why not? Because, somehow, paragliding was first done from the hills of Pokhara and by now it has developed as a hub for paragliders.

Pokhara is blessed with the views of the mountains from the doorsteps of your accommodations and paragliding with such views in the backdrop is like adding glitters on the gold. The trip usually lasts anywhere from half an hour to 2 hours and in today’s date there are several forms of paragliding. One is the simple way, where you drop gradually on the ground from the hill top of Sarangkot. The other way, is to drop down to the lake side feeding the rare hawk conserved by the hawk conservation project. This kind of paragliding is famed as parahawking and is available only in particular time of the year.
