Overview

” Soar Above the Himalayas”

Experience Nepal from a completely different perspective with an unforgettable paragliding adventure in Pokhara. Soar high above the beautiful landscapes of the Pokhara Valley as you share the skies with Himalayan griffon vultures, eagles, and kites, while enjoying breathtaking views of the majestic Himalayas.

Your adventure begins from Sarangkot (1,592 m), one of Nepal’s most spectacular viewpoints. From here, you’ll glide through the open skies with panoramic views of Phewa Lake, Pokhara Valley, terraced fields, traditional villages, lush forests, temples, and monasteries, all set against the magnificent Himalayan backdrop.

On a clear day, the spectacular Annapurna range, Machhapuchhre (Fishtail), Lamjung Himal, and Hiunchuli create an unforgettable panorama beneath and around you. The flight gradually descends toward the shores of Phewa Lake, offering incredible opportunities to capture photographs and memories from the sky.

Tandem Paragliding Experience

No previous paragliding experience is required. Before take-off, a professional and qualified pilot will provide a simple safety briefing and guide you throughout the flight. During the experience, you can simply relax and enjoy the scenery while your pilot handles the glider.

A typical tandem flight lasts around 30–45 minutes, depending on weather and flying conditions. For adventure seekers who want to experience the thrill of flying without committing to a training course, tandem paragliding is the perfect choice.

Best Time for Paragliding

Paragliding is a weather-dependent adventure activity. The main flying season generally runs from November to February, with November and December often offering particularly favorable conditions.

Come, spread your wings and experience Nepal from the sky — where breathtaking Himalayan views, adventure, and freedom come together.
