Paragliding in Nepal
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.
Geography and season : Paragliding is a weather
dependent sport and the flying season in Nepal
commences from November through February, the
best months being November and December. By
virtue of its latitude and monsoonal climate,
the tree line in Nepal is at an incredible 3,900
m above sea level. With condition milder than
summer alpine, these are excellent and constant
atmospherics. The topography and climate of
Nepal also make it an ideal destination for all
levels of pilots – subtropical conditions
provide plenty of thermals and combined with the
long valleys common in Nepal, they produce
perfect ‘cloud streets’ ideal for par gliders,
inviting them to fly along this “sky highway”.
The local microclimate, controlled by the
numerous lakes in the valley, is unique, which
makes it even better for the glider.
The Himalayan is made up of a series of lesser
mountains increasing in size, before the Greater
Himalaya. with its majestic snow- clad peaks,
dominate the sky. The range that is now offered
for paragliding is the Mahabharata range, south
of these giants. Most flights are out of Pokhara,
the beautiful lakeside town at the foot of the
Annapurna Himal.
