Although Pokhara is world-famous for its snow-capped mountains and lakes, do you know what the best way to do it is? ? It’s God.

It is no exaggeration to say that as long as you mention paragliding on the street in Pokhara, someone will definitely come around to introduce you to various quotes and travel agencies. Here, unless you don’t want to play, or have no interest or courage. Otherwise, you will definitely not miss this sport because you don’t know or haven’t heard of it.

Pokhara is one of the top three paragliding destinations in the world. Apart from its super cost-effectiveness, what else contributes to its current status? The Pokhara Valley is 800 meters above sea level, while the Annapurna Mountains in the north are 7,000-8,000 meters above sea level. When you go up into the wind and through the clouds and see the snow-capped mountains, you will know that in terms of "appearance", this place is well deserved.

①Paragliding Club

There are nearly 20 paragliding clubs in Pokhara, most of which choose Sarangko Mountain as their take-off point , the landing sites are basically in the north of the lakeside area. Flight duration is divided into 30 minutes and 60 minutes. Among them, sunrise club and bluesky club are the two largest local paragliding clubs. I personally recommend that you book directly with a large club so that you can directly choose a coach, because apart from the weather, the most important thing about the flight time is whether the coach is in tune with you and whether he is willing to take you to play for a while.

②Local travel agency or hotel reservation

There are travel agencies in the streets and alleys of Pokhara. Although the prices are unified, they will charge part of the handling fee because they are intermediaries. You can also make reservations at your own hotel, which is slightly cheaper than a travel agency. However, the advantage of booking with an agency is that the transportation is convenient, and there will be a special direct bus to take you to the departure point. Four Steps to Flying Experience

In fact, paragliding is not as difficult as you think. The entire flight process can be divided into four steps:

1. Take off with a run-up; 2. Find the altitude of the airflow; 3. Fly smoothly towards Phewa Lake; 4. Do some exciting stunts

Before taking off, the instructor will help you put on the seat bag, and then connect you and himself with professional ropes. Before taking off, you only need to carry the seat bag like a school bag. After taking off, you can sit in it. This will be your air seat. Don't disturb the coach while he is connecting the buckle. After all, safety is the most important thing.

After making preparations and installing various equipment, you are ready to take off. Many people mistakenly think that taking off is jumping off a cliff, but in fact, paragliding takes off by running down a slope of about 30° on the top of a mountain. When taking off, your body needs to lean forward, and the instructor stands behind you, quietly waiting for the wind to come. When the umbrella is blown up by the wind, you will feel a huge reverse force pulling your waist. You only need to keep your head down and run forward as hard as you can, and leave the rest to the instructor. Within a few steps you find yourself airborne without any feeling of weightlessness.

The second step is actually crucial. If there is no height, you can land in basically ten minutes. This happens all the time during the rainy season, so the weather is really one of the most important reasons.

But after all, everyone is led by a coach, so there is no need to worry too much about technical issues. Each instructor has different preferences, but their ultimate goal is to take you high, flying over one mountain after another, looking for new thermals to climb again, and finally landing on the edge of Phewa Lake. Basically, if you want to enjoy the game, you still need to purchase a 60-minute cross-country flight (Cross

Country).
