Paragliding in Nepal is one of the most thrilling adventure activities in the country, offering a bird’s-eye view of the Annapurna and Machhapuchhre ranges. Launching from Sarangkot hill (1,600 m), participants glide over the beautiful Phewa Lake, lush valleys, terraced farmland, and picturesque villages, all while accompanied by professional tandem pilots.

This activity is suitable for beginners, families, and experienced adventurers, as tandem flights require no prior experience. The flight duration is typically 15–25 minutes, depending on weather conditions, offering unforgettable views of the Himalayas, Pokhara Valley, and the surrounding landscapes.
