Few experiences match the thrill and serenity of paragliding in Nepal, where you can soar effortlessly over lush hills, shimmering lakes, and snow-capped mountains. With its dramatic landscapes and favorable weather conditions, Nepal is considered one of the best places in the world for paragliding—offering both thrill-seekers and scenic travelers a unique bird’s-eye view of the Himalayan country. At Hiking Paradise Pvt. Ltd., we organize professionally guided paragliding experiences that are safe, accessible, and awe-inspiring—perfect for beginners and experienced flyers alike.
The most popular paragliding destination in Nepal is Pokhara, a beautiful lakeside city in the Annapurna region. Flights typically take off from Sarangkot Hill, situated at around 1,600 meters, offering spectacular panoramic views of Mount Machapuchare (Fishtail), Annapurna, Dhaulagiri, and the tranquil Phewa Lake below. As you glide above the city, forests, and rice fields, the combination of thermal air currents, stable climate, and open valleys provides a smooth and enjoyable ride. Tandem flights are available for those without paragliding experience, with a certified pilot handling the controls while you simply sit back and enjoy the scenery.
Beyond Pokhara, there are emerging paragliding sites in places like Godavari (near Kathmandu), Bandipur, and Sirkot, which offer equally impressive flying conditions and fewer crowds. These alternative locations provide a more off-the-beaten-path experience for travelers looking to escape the busy trails while still enjoying an aerial adventure. Paragliding is not just about the view—it’s about the feeling of total freedom, suspended in the sky with nothing but the wind guiding your journey. Some flights can include acrobatics for adrenaline junkies, or longer thermal flights for those who want to experience more time in the air.
All paragliding trips arranged by Hiking Paradise Pvt. Ltd. follow strict safety standards, with well-maintained equipment and highly experienced, licensed pilots. Prior to each flight, you'll receive a safety briefing and equipment check, ensuring your confidence before takeoff. Flights typically last between 20 to 45 minutes, depending on weather conditions and the type of package chosen. We also offer photo and video services so you can relive the experience and share your adventure with friends and family.
The best seasons for paragliding in Nepal are spring (March to May) and autumn (September to November), when the skies are clear, the weather is stable, and visibility is at its best. Whether you're looking to check an item off your bucket list, celebrate a special occasion, or simply try something new, paragliding in Nepal with Hiking Paradise Pvt. Ltd. promises an unforgettable journey through the skies.
