Description
You launch from Sarangkot, Pokhara's main paragliding site at 1,592m, after a short briefing from your certified tandem pilot. A few steps forward, and the ground just isn't there anymore. For 25 minutes you glide above Phewa Lake, green hills, and small villages, with Machhapuchhre, Annapurna South, Lamjung Himal, and Himchuli in view the whole time. Eagles and vultures often share the same thermal currents. Landing happens near Lakeside, close to where you started. Free hotel pickup and drop-off, plus a complimentary photo and video package, means nothing to arrange beyond showing up. No hiking, no altitude training, no experience needed. Your pilot does the flying — you get twenty-five minutes most people spend the rest of their trip talking about.

Paragliding in Pokhara: The Day I Threw Myself Off a Hill for Fun!
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.

Unforgettable Paragliding Experience in Pokhara!
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!
