Paragliding is a relatively new adventure sport in Nepal, and little information is available in tourist guidebooks. 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.
Pokhara is the hub of different adventure sports in Nepal. Paragliding is one of the most popular adventure activities in Pokhara. Pokhara is also recognized as one of the top five tandem paragliding spots in the world as it has stable thermals, easy take-off, and landing sites, the safety of a large lake, and magnificent Himalayan views.
Tandem paragliding means the glider is seated in a separate harness in front of the pilot where he or she can sit carefreely and enjoy the surroundings, take pictures and talk with the pilot during the flight. Normally Tandem paragliding is quite comfortable and safe as well. In Pokhara, more than two hundred fifty paragliding flights happen in a day during peak season.
Now, Mandre Dhunga in Pokhara is the paragliding place from where the flight takes off. It is the new take-off point of paragliding in Pokhara instead of Sarangkot. Its, Pokhara paragliding height is 1788 meters/ 5866 feet from sea level which is higher than Sarangkot (1600 meters).
