The Magic of Flying in Pokhara

Pokhara is globally recognized as one of the top five commercial tandem paragliding locations in the world. Taking off from the lush hills of Sarangkot at approximately 1,600 meters, you will catch thermal currents that lift you high above the Pokhara Valley. The experience offers an unparalleled perspective of the Annapurna South, Hiunchuli, and the sacred Machhapuchhre peaks. Whether you choose a serene glide to soak in the mountain majesty or opt for an 'acrobatic' flight with hair-raising spirals and wing-overs, the landing beside the serene Fewa Lake provides the perfect finish to a bucket-list adventure.
