Paragliding Pokhara Nepal
Description
Feel the freedom of flying above the Himalayas. Your adventure begins at Sarangkot (1,592 m), Pokhara’s premier paragliding launch site. After a short briefing from your certified tandem pilot, you take a few steps forward — and suddenly, you’re in the sky. For 25–30 unforgettable minutes, you glide high above Phewa Lake, green hills, and traditional villages. You may even share the sky with eagles and vultures riding the same thermal currents. Below, temples and terraced fields appear like miniature paintings. In front of you, the Annapurna range rises dramatically — including Mt. Machhapuchhre (Fishtail), Annapurna South, Lamjung Himal, and Himchuli. The combination of mountain views and open sky creates a thrilling yet peaceful experience. Your flight ends with a smooth landing near Lakeside. Free hotel pickup and drop (Lakeside area) and complimentary photo/video ensure you take the memories home.

Offering life time experience here in Pokhara
I had very good experience. ☺️ I really liked all the facilities and they were so sweet.
My first time paragliding, and let me tell you—I have never voluntarily run off a cliff before, but Pokhara somehow convinced me it was a good idea. With the Himalayas posing dramatically behind me like they were ready for a photoshoot, I took the leap… literally. My tandem pilot was smooth, skilled, and reassuring—the kind of guy who could probably talk me into doing my taxes if he said it was “super safe.” Once we were in the air, I felt ridiculously cool, floating above Pokhara like a slightly chaotic superhero. The town, the lake, the mountains—gorgeous. Me? Also gorgeous, obviously. The 15–20 minutes in the air were the perfect mix of “wow, this is stunning” and “wow, I can’t believe I’m still alive.” Honestly, 10/10 would yeet myself off a hill again. If you’re going to paraglide anywhere, do it in Pokhara. It’s beautiful, it’s thrilling, and it gives you bragging rights for life.
Thank you so much for this amazing review! We’re thrilled you had such an unforgettable first flight in Pokhara. The mix of thrill, beauty, and “I can’t believe I’m doing this” is exactly what makes paragliding here so special. We’re glad our pilot made you feel safe and confident—and yes, you absolutely earned lifelong bragging rights! Hope to see you back in the sky again soon.
I had an amazing time paragliding with Mountain Hike Nepal! The journey started with private transportation to Sarangkot, a beautiful spot at 1,592m above sea level. The 25-minute flight was breathtaking, with stunning views of villages, temples, and lakes, and I even shared the sky with eagles and vultures! Seeing the majestic Mt. Machhapuchhre, Annapurna, and Himchuli from above was surreal. The team was professional, and safety was their top priority. The photos and videos they provided were a perfect way to relive this incredible adventure. Highly recommend this experience to anyone visiting Pokhara!
