About Paragliding In Nepal
Nepal is Popular for Paragliding. The main area for paragliding in Nepal is in Pokhara sarngkot and kathmandu valley chitre bhanjyang. There are many other destinations with commanding views of the beautiful of Himalayan range and green hills with local life .
Tandem flying involves a pilot flying with a passenger. Both have separate harnesses that are attached to each other and the wing. Paragliding harnesses are built for comfort and safety, they feel more like an armchair. Once launched the passenger just sits back, relaxes, and takes in the epic scenery. Even taking pictures is not a problem. Due to the portable nature and easy launch characteristics of a paraglider (they fit into a rucksack) We can take them anywhere and fly them from most mountains in Nepal.
