Paragliding in Nepal offers a unique opportunity to soar through the skies and enjoy breathtaking views of the Himalayas, lush valleys, and picturesque landscapes. Popular sites for paragliding include Pokhara, where you can glide from the Sarangkot hilltop and witness stunning panoramas of the Annapurna range and Phewa Lake.
Safety is a top priority in the paragliding industry in Nepal. Operators must adhere to strict regulations set by the Civil Aviation Authority of Nepal (CAAN). Experienced pilots, safety gear, and thorough pre-flight briefings are standard practices. However, as with any adventure sport, it's essential to choose a reputable paragliding company.
No prior experience is necessary to go paragliding in Nepal. Tandem flights are available, where you fly with a certified pilot who handles the equipment and navigation. This allows you to enjoy the experience without any previous training.
The best time for paragliding in Nepal is during the spring (March to May) and autumn (September to November). These months typically offer clear skies, stable weather conditions, and excellent visibility for an enjoyable flying experience. Avoid the monsoon season (June to August) due to unpredictable weather and heavy rains.
A typical tandem paragliding flight lasts between 20 to 30 minutes, depending on weather conditions and thermal activity. However, the entire experience, including preparation and safety briefings, may take around 2 to 3 hours.
Dress comfortably and in layers, as temperatures can vary at different altitudes. It’s advisable to wear:
Comfortable clothing: Athletic wear or light layers.
Closed-toe shoes: Sturdy shoes that won’t slip off during the flight.
Windbreaker or jacket: To protect against wind chill at higher altitudes.
Sunglasses: To shield your eyes from the sun during the flight.
While paragliding is generally safe and accessible, there are some restrictions. Participants should be in good health and not have serious medical conditions like heart problems or severe anxiety. Most operators have a weight limit, usually around 95 kg (210 lbs), so it's best to check with your chosen company beforehand.
Most tandem pilots will allow you to take photos during the flight, but it's essential to use a secure strap or harness to prevent dropping your camera or phone. Many operators also offer professional photo and video services for an additional fee, allowing you to capture the experience without worrying about your gear.
The landing process is straightforward and safe. The pilot will guide you through the landing procedure during the flight briefing. Generally, you'll land on your feet in a designated landing zone, often a flat area near the take-off site.
While there is no strict age limit, most operators require participants to be at least 10 years old. Minors usually need parental consent to fly. It's best to check with your chosen operator regarding specific age policies.
