Planning

Historical Context

Paragliding in Nepal began in the late 1990s in Pokhara and has since grown into a world-renowned destination for adventure aviation.

Photography Tips

If bringing your own camera, ensure it has a secure wrist or neck strap. A wide-angle lens is best for capturing both the wing and the landscape.

Insider Tips

  • Don't eat a heavy meal right before your flight if you are prone to motion sickness
  • Ask your pilot for 'acrobatics' if you want an extra adrenaline rush during the descent

Our Partners

  • In collaboration with Viator and local Nepalese aviation-certified operators.

Fun Facts

  • You can often see Himalayan vultures flying at the same altitude as your paraglider, using the same thermals to stay aloft.

Cancellation Policy

Most of our partner tours offer a full refund if cancelled at least 24 hours before the activity starts. In case of poor weather, tours are usually rescheduled or fully refunded.

Absolutely Breathtaking

The view of Annapurna South was life-changing. My pilot was very professional and made me feel safe throughout the entire flight. Booking through this site was much easier than trying to find a shop in Pokhara.

A Must-Do in Pokhara

I was worried about the height but it was so smooth. We even did some 'stunts' at the end which were so fun! The photos they gave me on a microSD card are amazing quality.

Incredible Experience

The flight itself was 25 minutes of pure bliss. The pickup from my hotel was on time and the staff were very friendly. Worth every penny for the views alone.

Top Notch Service

I booked the Kathmandu flight and it was spectacular. Seeing the valley from 2100m up is something I will never forget. Very well organized.

As a pilot myself, I was impressed with their pre-flight checks and wing handling. This is a world-class paragliding destination and the service matched it.

Dream Come True

Gliding with the eagles was the best part. It's so quiet and peaceful up there. The booking platform made it easy to compare prices and read recent reviews.

Great Value

For $80, getting a flight, transport, and all my photos is a steal. The landing near the lake was very gentle. Highly recommend the morning slot for the clearest views.
