Paragliding in Nepal offers a truly exhilarating experience for adventure seekers. Soar through the sky while enjoying breathtaking views of the Himalayas, picturesque villages, serene lakes, monasteries, temples, and lush jungles. Sharing the sky with Himalayan griffon vultures, eagles, and kites adds to the unforgettable thrill.
For first-time flyers, tandem flights—where you fly with a certified instructor—are a safe and exciting way to experience the skies. You’ll lift off from Sarangkot, a hilltop above Pokhara known for stunning sunrise and sunset views over Phewa Lake and the Annapurna range. At around 6,000 feet, you can sit back, relax, and let your experienced pilot take you on an unforgettable aerial journey.
There are also three-day introductory paragliding courses available for beginners eager to learn the basics.
