Paragliding is a recreational and competitive flying sport. A para glider is a free-flying, foot-launched aircraft. The pilot sits in a harness suspended below a fabric wing, whose shape is formed by its suspension lines and the pressure of air entering vents in the front of the wing.

Since ancient times man has looked up at the sky and longed to emulate the flight of birds. Ancient mythology and the inquiries of Leonardo da Vinci all reflect civilization’s quest for free flight. Now it is possible for almost anyone to fulfill this dream through Paragliding.

Paragliding is one of the most affordable and feasible ways of achieving free flight. It allows you to own an aircraft that you can store in the boot of your car. You launch from gentle hillsides and ride the winds, gliding as you please.

Travel Starts on Thursday 29 April Night 8:00 PM and return will be on Monday 03 May morning 10:00 AM

    Attended this weekend's paragliding trip. A couple of suggestions:
    1. If possible, make it a 5 day trip so that you can complete the first level (in 3 days, you just complete the Introductory part). And the last two days are fun, it seems
    2. On Sunday, the evening training can go on till 7 - 7:30. And it takes about 60-90 min to get to Pune. Since we had our train at 9:00 PM, we had to cut short our flights. So, it might be advisable if you book a late bus / flight and enjoy the flights.
