Paragliding was always something I wanted to do ever since I heard of it. I had the opportunity to do it when I was there during Summer 2013. At just around £50, it is well worth it price. It starts off with meeting up at Lakeside, Pokhara. Oh yeah, it is in Nepal ( just realized I missed the important details) You are taken in a very adventuous type Jeep with your fellow tourist/brave at heart people. After about a 30mins drive, you reach Sarangkot hill, where the take off takes place. and Oh boy! the fear or for some the adrenaline grasps you here. I was not so scared, surprisingly as I normally am a wimp at stuff like this. We were all kitted and had all the safety talk done, we took off. It was a splendid view from up there. You could see the beautiful city of Pokhara with the view of the Fewa Lake as well. It also helps that Pokhara is not as polluted as Kathmandu, the capital city of Nepal.
Whether or not I would do it again, I am not sure but if I had the company then I definitely would. Oh btw, all this was done with Sujata. I wouldnt have been able to embark on this adventure without my bestie Sujata. Really glad, she was there, so we could scream together hehe. I have attached some photos to give you a bit of what I saw and also a video. It doesnt do justice to the actual experience though. So go on then, what you waiting for? Book that flight to Nepal, and start your adventure. If only going on holiday, would be as spontaneous as that. Cheers guys!
Just before take off, notice the nervous smile on my behalf. Top: Ralph Lauren Shoes: Converse Trousers: Asda cotton trousers.
Amazing view.
A short video to give your a taster of it.
