About

Paragliding[7] Don't miss soaring around Lake Pokhara and the Annapurnas with Lammergeyer eagles or huge Gryffon vultures to guide the way! Tandem There are several companies that organize tandem flights (no experience required) ranging from 30 minutes - 1.5 hours, as well as cross-country. You will find advertisements on the main road as well as most guest houses and hotels. Prices start from around US$90 (2011). Sunrise Paragliding, the original company operating there, is also one of the best. Lessons All the paragliding centres also offer lessons. A beginners course costs about US$120 per day including equipment rental. You will need a course of at least 15 days before you can obtain an international paragliders license For Experienced Pilots Pokhara is a rewarding location for experienced cross country and/or acrobatic pilots. Any of the paragliding schools will be able to help you with logistics such as equipment hire, transfers to take-off, advanced training & folding of reserve parachutes.
