Pokhara: Paragliding over Phewa Lake with Panoramic View

Experience the ultimate paragliding adventure in Pokhara, Nepal – often ranked among the world’s top paragliding destinations – where you'll soar through clear skies with the snow-capped Himalayas as your backdrop. Feel the rush of adrenaline as you glide like a bird high above the Pokhara Valley, taking in breathtaking aerial views of Phewa Lake, lush terraced hills, and the towering peaks of the Annapurna range. This tandem paragliding experience uniquely blends thrill and tranquility, giving you an unforgettable perspective of Nepal’s natural beauty.

Your journey begins with a convenient pickup from your hotel in Pokhara and a scenic drive up to Sarangkot Hill, the city’s renowned paragliding launch site.

Once strapped in for your tandem flight, a few quick steps are all it takes before you’re effortlessly airborne, riding gentle thermals above the valley.

As you soar over Pokhara, enjoy about 20–30 minutes of flying time (depending on conditions) to marvel at the panorama around you. Gaze out at the Annapurna mountain range and spot famous peaks like Machhapuchhre (Fishtail) in the distance, while the emerald Phewa Lake sparkles below. The sensation is both exhilarating and serene – the thrill of riding the wind paired with the awe of sweeping Himalayan vistas.

Your expert pilot will handle the glider, so you can relax, snap photos, or simply savor the moment. Throughout the flight, your safety and comfort are top priority. No prior experience is required to enjoy this adventure.

You’ll be in the safe hands of a seasoned pilot with years of experience who adheres to strict international safety standards. Whether you’re an adrenaline junkie or a first-time flyer, you’ll feel at ease knowing a professional is guiding your flight. After an exhilarating descent, you’ll touch down gently at the lakeside landing zone.

A quick transfer will take you back to your hotel, wrapping up this incredible experience. This Pokhara paragliding trip is a must-do for anyone looking for a safe yet thrilling way to admire Nepal’s stunning landscapes from a bird’s-eye view.
