Paragliding in India
Paragliding in India - Paragliding is a
combination of hang gliding and parachuting. In parachuting one has to jump
from an aircraft whereas in para gliding one has to run down hill. Your wish
of flying free as a bird dream can be fulfilled by joining this adventurous
sport.
Paragliding provides a similar experience though the equipment used is much
lighter, the sport is easier to learn and it's flight not as fast.
Paragliding is broadly
classified under two heads:
1. Short flights : The client is taken 100 - 150 mts up
the slope and takes a flight along with the pilot in the two seater
paraglider. The flight lasts for approximately 60 - 90 seconds.
2. High flying : Approximately 20-30 minutes flight and
arranged at Fatru, Kothi and Bijli Mahadev. Mainly for experienced pilots
who have done short flights.
Close to Manali is the Ski resort of Solang Valley, the perfect takeoff
point at Murhee and the also the hills of Naggar all ideal terrain for great
paragliding experiences. We arrange the best gliders for you to get a bird's
eye view of the Kullu valley soaring in the gentle thermals. We also offer
tandem rides on a two seater glider where the instructor lets you share
splendid views from high up in the air.
