Helpful answers before you plan this journey.
No. Tandem paragliding is designed for passengers without previous flying experience. The pilot controls the paraglider while the passenger follows basic take-off and landing instructions.
A standard tandem flight generally remains airborne for approximately 20 to 40 minutes, although the exact duration depends on weather, wind and thermal conditions.
Sarangkot is a major Pokhara paragliding launch area, but the exact take-off location can change according to operating permissions, wind direction, weather and air-traffic requirements.
Tandem flights commonly land around the Khapaudi or Phewa Lake area. The exact landing site is determined by the operator and pilot according to current conditions.
Paragliding is highly weather dependent. Flights may be delayed, moved to another suitable time or cancelled if the pilot determines that conditions are unsafe.
Wear comfortable clothing, closed sports shoes and an appropriate jacket depending on the season. Sunglasses and sun protection are also useful.
Many tandem operators offer in-flight photo and video services. Whether this is included or charged separately should be confirmed in the final package.
Most healthy travelers can participate, but passengers with significant medical, mobility or other health concerns should consult an appropriate medical professional and inform the operator before booking.
Clearer periods outside the summer monsoon are generally preferred. Autumn and spring are particularly popular because of favorable weather and mountain visibility.
