Trip Overview

Paragliding in Pokhara is not just an adventure—it's a once-in-a-lifetime chance to fly like a bird above one of the world’s most scenic valleys. Nestled beside the serene Phewa Lake and backed by the towering Annapurna Himalayan range, Pokhara is one of the top 5 commercial paragliding destinations in the world. Whether you're an adrenaline seeker or a peaceful dreamer, soaring through the skies with panoramic views of lush hills, traditional villages, snow-capped peaks, and glistening lakes will leave you breathless.

Your journey begins with a scenic drive to Sarangkot Hill, the most famous take-off point in Pokhara (1,600m). From here, you’ll run a few steps with your experienced pilot and gently lift off into the open sky. The paraglider catches thermals as you circle above the valley, with eagles and vultures often flying alongside you.

The 20–30 minute tandem flight is designed for both first-time flyers and adventure lovers, with professional pilots controlling everything. All you need to do is enjoy the views, smile for the GoPro, and soak in the serenity of the skies.
