Paragliding in Pokhara

No prior experience is needed. Tandem flights, where you fly with an experienced instructor, are available for beginners. Your instructor will handle the technical aspects, allowing you to enjoy the flight.

Wear comfortable clothing suitable for outdoor activities. It's recommended to wear layers as temperatures can vary. Sturdy shoes with good grip are essential. Avoid loose accessories that might get tangled.

The flight typically lasts between 30 to 45 minutes, depending on weather conditions and wind currents.

The best time for paragliding in Pokhara is from September to June, with clear skies and stable weather conditions. The monsoon season (July and August) is generally avoided due to heavy rains.

Generally, participants should be at least 10 years old. Weight restrictions usually range between 20 kg (44 lbs) and 100 kg (220 lbs). Specific requirements may vary by operator, so it's best to check in advance.

Paragliding is highly weather-dependent. If conditions are not safe for flying, your flight may be rescheduled or canceled. Operators prioritize safety and will provide alternative arrangements if necessary.

Paragliding is not physically demanding. The instructor handles the controls, and participants only need to run a few steps during takeoff. People of various fitness levels can enjoy this activity.
