Overview

Situated in the lap of the Annapurna Himalayas, Pokhara is a picturesque valley known for its serene lakes, lush green hills, and breathtaking mountain views. At the heart of this natural beauty lies Sarangkot, a hill station perched at an altitude of 1,592 meters. Offering a panoramic view of the Annapurna Range, Machhapuchhre (Fishtail Peak), and the shimmering Phewa Lake, Sarangkot serves as the perfect takeoff point for paragliding enthusiasts.

The geography of Sarangkot is ideal for paragliding, with its steady thermals, open valleys, and unobstructed views, making it one of the top paragliding destinations in the world. As you soar through the skies, you’ll glide over lush forests, terraced hills, and the tranquil Pokhara Valley below, with the snow-capped peaks forming a dramatic backdrop.

Get ready to push your limits and embrace the ultimate thrill in the adventure capital of Nepal! This action-packed journey combines two of the most exhilarating activities Nepal has to offer—paragliding in the scenic skies of Pokhara and bungee jumping over the roaring Bhote Koshi River. Fly like a bird as you take in breathtaking views of the Annapurna mountain range, serene Phewa Lake, and lush green valleys. Then, challenge your fears as you leap from one of the world’s highest suspension bridges into the dramatic gorge below.

This 3-day paragliding adventure combines the thrill of flying with the tranquility of Pokhara’s natural beauty, offering you two flight options—Standard Tandem Flight and Cross-Country Flight—to suit your level of adventure.
