4.Pokhara: Paragliding Adventure with Photos and Video

★★★★★★★★★★4.7 · 44 reviews · 3 hours · from $86

You’ll ride from Lakeside to Sarangkot for a roughly 30-minute tandem flight above Phewa Lake, forests, and villages. An English-speaking pilot handles the canopy, gives a safety briefing, and provides photos and video. The three-hour outing includes hotel pickup, return transport, and insurance.

“It was peaceful once airborne and not strenuous at all. The guide flew safely and well and took lots of photos and short movies. My advice is only take a small bag, with essentials, no water needed there is a cafe at the landing site. Wear a light jacket. My bigger bag had to be left in the van, and the van was different to the one I took back from the landing site. It was ok though as they dropped my bag to my accommodation later. Definitely recommend this activity.”

“The paraglider pilots were very friendly and very skilled. As a former paraglider pilot I could admire their skills in a crowded and thermic sky. The rafting crew were great fun and everyone enjoyed a laugh. There were a few spills, but no real danger at all. The swimmers thoroughly enjoyed their dips in the river. The water was running at a good Grade 3.”
