Paragliding in Pokhara is one of the most sought-after adventure activities, offering an unparalleled aerial view of the Annapurna mountain range, Phewa Lake, and the lush valleys below. The city is considered one of the top paragliding destinations in the world due to its stable thermals, reliable weather conditions, and breathtaking scenery.
Most paragliding flights take off from Sarangkot Hill, which is 1,592 meters above sea level. This spot is perfect for capturing panoramic views of the Himalayas, including peaks like Annapurna, Dhaulagiri, and Machhapuchhre (Fishtail Mountain). The flight typically lasts 20 to 30 minutes, during which you can glide gracefully over the Pokhara Valley and land near the lakeside, adding a serene touch to the thrilling experience.
For those seeking an even more adventurous experience, tandem paragliding with an experienced pilot is available, allowing you to relax and enjoy the views while they handle the flight. Additionally, there are options for acrobatic paragliding, which includes spins and turns for an extra adrenaline rush.
