Paragliding is relatively new adventure sport in Nepal. Paragliding in this Himalayan country can be a truly wonderful and fulfilling experience for the adventure- seekers. You can experience unparalleled scenic grandeur as you share airspace with Himalayan griffin vultures, eagles, kites, while floating over villages, monasteries, temples, lakes and jungles, with a fantastic view of the majestic Himalayas. Paragliding provides opportunity to observe life and nature from air.

The last three years have seen the activity flourish in Pokhara, and it now is an internationally recognized destination for free- flight enthusiasts.

Ultra light aircraft was introduced in Nepal in 1996, and the tour operator like us has been offering sightseeing tours in the Pokhara valley. The choice of Pokhara for ultra- light aircraft is appropriate chiefly because of the proximity of the mountain, and the scenic lakes. For those who wish they could fly like birds, this flight is a must. Leave your woes behind on earth, soar to heights, bathe in the clouds, reach out for the mountains and kiss the azure sky. It might be lonely at the top, but the spectacular view from high up there certainly makes up for everything.

Through the company Hike Nepal Ltd we operate flights from the Pokhara airport beginning September through June. The flights take place from sunrise to 11 am and from 3 p.m to sunset every day during these mounts. Three different routes are taken:

1. Fly for Fun 2. Touch the Fish Tail 3. Mountain Range Sky Trek :

The sport has finally found a natural home in the highest mountain range in the world. The unlimate thrill of a bungy jump can now be experienced in Nepal at perhaps the best site in the world. Nepal’s first bungy jumping site is situated 160 m over the wild Bhote Kosi river, and located close to the Nepal- Tibet border, a three – hour bus ride from Kathmandu.

The beautiful valley is home to the dense forests surrounding the cliff top gorge. The tedious trip is well worth it just for the spectacular view, which many consider to be one of the most beautiful in the world. One can stay here overnight and go rafting and rock climbing too. The opportunities for adventure in the world’s most spectacular mountains are not to be missed.

Anyone who wants to take a taste of bungee jumping should not have any of the health problems mentioned below :

• Heart disease • Epilepsy • High blood pressure • Pregnancy • Addiction to alcohol or drugs • Orthopedic problems • Psychological problems • Neurological problems.

One of the best ways to get close to the Himalaya, and to Everest in particular, is to take a mountain flight. Lasting an hour they offer an incredible close-up views of the awesome peaks.

Flights from Kathmandu reveal the eastern Himalaya. Flights from Pokhara take you on a bird's eye view of the western Himalaya. In just a short time, you will be experiencing the Himalayas at such close range it will seem as though you could reach out and touch them. There before your eyes is the world's tallest mountain, Everest at 8848m (29,028ft). Among spectacular panoramic views of the 850 mountains over 6000 meters (19,680ft), you will see Kanchenjunga (8586m/ 28,162ft), Makalu (8463m/ 27,766ft), Lothse (8400m/ 27,940ft) and Manaslu (8165m/ 26,781ft). This is a sure way to touch any visitor's heart and to give great pleasure.
