Paragliding in Nepal Overview

Paragliding in Nepal, especially from the famous launch site of Sarangkot in Pokhara, is one of the most exhilarating adventure activities in the Himalayas. As you take off from the hill, you will be greeted by incredible panoramic views of snow‑capped mountains including Annapurna, Dhaulagiri, Machhapuchhre (Fishtail), Hiunchuli, and many others. You will fly above the turquoise Phewa Lake and enjoy a bird’s‑eye view of the whole Pokhara city.

This tandem flight is suitable for beginners and experienced flyers alike. Your experienced pilot will ensure your safety and, with your permission, can add thrilling manoeuvres and a short free‑fall experience before a gentle landing. The flight duration is approximately one hour, making it a perfect addition to any Nepal holiday – whether you are trekking, touring, or simply seeking an unforgettable adrenaline rush.

Global Nepal Treks arranges all logistics including hotel pickup and drop‑off, transportation to Sarangkot, and a professional, licensed paragliding pilot. No prior experience is required.
