Paragliding in Nepal can be really an astonishing and satisfying experience for the adventure seeker. You will explore the earth from high altitude just like birds floating over the green jungles, beautiful villages, temples, monasteries and also have the views of the majestic Himalaya.
Many travelers and visitors apart from exploring the tranquil beauty of Nepal Himalayas love doing some adventure activities like paragliding, cannoning, bungee Jumping, Hot Air ballooning etc. Nepal has the second highest bungee in the world and the 'giantest' swing, over a canyon in the Bhote Koshi at the height of 170m. The paragliding is fabulous in Pokhara with 8000+ m peaks on the background, and newer soft & hard adventure opportunities are on the rise. You will also enjoy exploring the tranquil beauty and the remote & unique cultures.
