Pokhara Paragliding Adventure Overview

Pokhara, often called the paragliding capital of Nepal, offers one of the most scenic and thrilling paragliding experiences in the world. Flying over the Annapurna Range, Machapuchare (Fishtail), and Phewa Lake, the Pokhara Paragliding Adventure offers a breathtaking view of the Himalayan mountains and lush green hills. Whether you’re a beginner or an experienced flyer, this experience is perfect for those seeking an unforgettable aerial adventure in the heart of Nepal.

Tandem Flights at Sarangkot Hill, Pokhara

A tandem flight is an exciting paragliding experience where a trained pilot flies together with a passenger. Both wear separate harnesses securely attached to each other and the wing. The harness is designed for comfort and safety, with a seat that feels much like an armchair. Once in the air, the passenger simply relaxes and enjoys stunning views of the Himalayas, rivers, lakes, and landscapes. Photos and videos can also be captured during the flight without any issue. Paragliding is highly portable and can be done from many mountain take-off points. Choosing this experience with Aarohi Holiday is even more rewarding, as we offer two flight options at a reasonable price.

Cloud Buster Paragliding Flight

In this flight, we take off from Sarangkot and soar high above the valley, offering breathtaking views of tree-covered ridges, charming villages, and people below gazing up in awe as you circle overhead like a bird. The flight ends with a smooth glide over the lake, after which we return to our main office at Lakeside by Jeep.

Cross Country Paragliding Flight

This flight offers a true adventure, giving you the thrill of exploring the skies in changing conditions. Each day brings different routes and experiences, from gliding along the long ridge past Fewa Lake with the Annapurna range on your right, to crossing the valley and soaring closer to the towering 6,000 m peaks. The journey ends with a landing near the lake, where transport will be ready to take you back to our office in Lakeside.
