Frequently Asked Questions

Paragliding does not feel like falling; instead, it feels like flying with your own wings as you foot-launch and glide smoothly through the air.

You can expect a safety briefing before takeoff, instruction on paragliding controls from your partner pilot, and airborne views of the Himalayas including the Annapurnas, Mt. Everest, and Mt. Fish Tail.

Paragliding in Pokhara offers an experience of a lifetime with foot-launch and foot-land flights over the Himalayas, providing aerial views of the Annapurnas, Mt. Everest, and Mt. Fish Tail.

The experience includes a tandem paraglider, harness, helmet, a certified partner pilot, and a pre-flight safety briefing. Transportation from your Pokhara hotel to the launch site at Sarangkot is also provided.

The flight itself lasts between 20 to 30 minutes depending on thermal conditions, while the entire excursion including hotel transfers and briefings takes about 2 to 3 hours.

You will run a few steps off the grassy slope at Sarangkot to catch the updrafts for takeoff, and perform a similar short jog to touch down on the landing field near Phewa Lake.

The launch site is located on the hill of Sarangkot, and operators provide a vehicle transfer from your accommodation in Pokhara to the top of the hill.

Participants must generally be between 5 and 65 years old and weigh between 20 kg and 100 kg to ensure the tandem harness and glider operate safely.

This activity requires the ability to run a few steps during takeoff and landing, making it unsuitable for wheelchair users or those with significant mobility restrictions.

The best visibility and most stable thermal conditions occur between September and November, and again from February to April.

You should wear comfortable, closed-toe running shoes and dress in layers, as temperatures at the Sarangkot launch site are noticeably cooler than down by the lake.

Flights are strictly weather-dependent, and if wind or visibility conditions are deemed unsafe by the pilot, the flight will be rescheduled or canceled.

You are not permitted to hold loose personal cameras during the flight for safety reasons, but your pilot will use a mounted action camera while allowing you to hold the brake toggles to practice steering.
