The thrill and adrenaline rush of flying high in the sky, riding the gust of winds, and enjoying the breathtaking scenery of the surrounding landscape and mountain panorama is an indescribable experience.
The Chandragiri Kathmandu Paraglide takes an adventurer on a tandem paragliding flight taking off from Deurali Bhanjyang at the border of Kathmandu and Makwanpur District. From Deurali Bhanjyang the flight will ride the thermals and updraft and rise around 100 meters above the take-off point, from where the entire valley reveals itself along with the surrounding landscape. As you glide over the lush forest and beautiful hills below, a cool breeze hitting your face will remind you of an amazing adventure of flying like a bird. On a day with a clear sky, you can enjoy the mesmerizing view of the mountain panorama as well. You will subsequently fly over beautiful Chitlang Valley, and eventually lose elevation, and land.
And it all happens in the vicinity of Kathmandu. You don’t need to travel to Pokhara to paraglide like it used to be. For anyone in Kathmandu who is thinking of doing paragliding, this Kathmandu Paragliding tour package allows the adventurer to experience the thrill and enjoy amazing visual scenery.
The first paragliding flight in Kathmandu took off in the 1990s. Since then several attempts have been made to commercialize the adventure sport and operate regular flights. However, these attempts have been thwarted by several limiting factors until 2023, when regular commercial paragliding flights from Chandragiri started to operate. Unlike previous commercial paragliding flight operations in Kathmandu, which mostly operated from Pulchowki, paragliding in Kathmandu Chandragiri is a unique and amazing flying experience.
The updraft and thermals take the paraglider approximately 100 meters higher than the take-off point providing superior visuals. The flight lasts anywhere from 25-30 minutes depending on the intensity of the thermals. The paraglider flies over the Chandragiri Hills ridge providing a view of Kathmandu Valley and mountain panorama. After cruising over Chandragiri Hills the flight lowers its elevation and hovers over the beautiful Chitlang Valley and lands there.
Conclusively, Paragliding in Kathmandu Chandragiri is a thrilling flying adventure and a golden opportunity to observe the mesmerizing views of the valley, surrounding landscape, and mountain panorama.
