Flying high above the Phewa Lake and gazing at Annapurna Himalaya upon the horizon. What are you waiting for?

Pokhara Paragliding Tour

Take a tandem Pokhara Paragliding Tour to soar high above Phewa Lake with the eagles flying around and the snow-capped mountains of the Himalayas on the horizon is one of the unforgettable experiences and one of the highlights of your trip to Nepal.

Pokhara, with the Annapurna mountain range in the backdrop, has one of the finest weather conditions for paragliding because temperatures are increasing quickly. Paragliding has been available in Nepal since 1995 and has increased in popularity over time.

The flights depart from the top of Sarangkot and fly over Phewa Lake. At a specified landing site by the lake, the pilot will handle the landing. Through a Go-Pro, you’ll record all of the footage for future use.

You may go sightseeing in Pokhara, relax at the lake with a cold drink, or unwind after paragliding.

Nepal is like a ghostly princess who eludes your grasp every time. That is why we are here for the second time. The Top1 trekking company is a good option for a 7-day itinerary beginning in Kathmandu and finishing in Pokhara or Sarangkot. We had an excellent experience with the expert service, well-planned, nice lodging, and fantastic paragliding trip in Pokhara... We were happy with the services they provided to us. The weather wasn't great, but we still enjoyed the air, landscape, and mountains... The trekking guide and city tour guide has excellent knowledge of historical and religious customs to help you better understand the local culture in Nepal. Thank you so much Ram and Yen for a fantastic journey. I hope to see you again soon.

It was our first visit to Nepal, and Top1Trekking made the experience unforgettable. All we had to do was book a flight and pack our clothes, and then enjoy the holiday because Top1Trekking took care of us from arrival at the airport until we departed. We had intended to spend 10 days in Nepal, and Top1Trekking saved the day by arranging for us to see all of the major sites in Nepal, such as Chitwan, where we went on a jungle safari to spot rhinos and deer, or Lumbini, the birthplace of Buddha. We also went hiking to the Australian Campus in 3 days with our tour guide, Kuma - he's a great guy and we had a fantastic time. We also went paragliding from Sarangkot to Pokhara, or we visited the ancient city's Bhaktapur Dubar Square and Buddha stupa. We liked how Top1Trekking planned our journey. The tour guide was the only person with us on hiking days, while the other days, Top1Trekking arranged for transportation, lodging, etc., which made us feel quite at ease. When we contacted them or had any queries, they responded immediately. We felt completely secure and pleased We would like to thank Ram, Yen, and Top1Trekking for organizing and watching over our trip. We will undoubtedly return to Nepal again, and it's certain that we'll contact Top1Trekking then.

If you don't have much time, Top1trekking is the perfect option for you! They'll give you a smart itinerary that saves time, money, and ensures satisfaction. You can even get away with not eating local cuisine if you tell the guide what you want and he will certainly provide an excellent solution! Thank you so much for organizing such a unique vacation in our life! We look forward to returning to Top1trekking in the future!

Itinerary

From Pokhara, you’ll board a 20-30 minute bumpy jeep ride to the Sarangkot viewpoint at elevations of 1600 meters. You will be picked up from your hotel.

When the weather is good, the flight may take place from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., when the sky is generally clear and sunny. The sun must be out long enough to heat the planet and generate thermals required for the lift in order for flying to be optimum.

The flight will last 30 minutes and will offer a great time. You’ll land on a designated site just beside Phewa Lake. As you’re close to the lakeside, you can stroll around the market to reach your hotel.
