Visitors
to Pokhara can enjoy a bird's-eye-view of its splendid Himalayan scenery and experience
the thrill of flying in a micro-light aircraft. The exciting sport of motor gliding
is now available in Pokhara to complement its natural beauty. The Russian-made
delta-wing powered gliders can carry two persons. They have a maximum speed of
130 km per hour and can reach heights of 5,000 m. Flights are conducted by experienced
Pilots. Paragliding
in Nepal : Paragliding is a relatively new
adventure sport in Nepal, and little information is available
in tourist guidebooks. Paragliding in this Himalayan country
can be a truly wonderful and fulfilling experience for the
adventure seekers. You can experience unparalleled scenic
grandeur as your share airspace with Himalayan griffin vultures,
eagles, kites, while floating over villages, monasteries,
temples, lakes, and jungles, with a fantastic views of the
majestic Himalayas.
Gliding
is a weather dependent sport and the flying season in Nepal commences from November
through February, the best months being November and December. By virtue of its
latitude and monsoon climate, the tree line in Nepal is at an incredible 3900m
above sea level. With conditions milder than summer alpine, these are excellent
and constant atmospherics. The topography and climate of Nepal also make it an
ideal destination for all levels of pilots - subtropical conditions provide plenty
of thermals and combined with the long valleys common in Nepal, they produce perfect
"cloud streets" ideal for Para gliders, inviting them to fly along this
"sky highway. The local microclimate, controlled by the numerous lakes in
the valley, is unique, which makes it even better for the glider.
The
take off points for these flights is Sarangkot (1592m), which
offers prime views of Phewa Tal and the mountains at sunrise
and sunset (provided the skies are clear); the
landing is by the lake. No previous experience is required
as qualified pilots provide a short briefing before launching.
