Paragliding in Nepal

The weather decides, not the booking

A tandem flight goes when the wind at launch is right and not otherwise. Flights are cancelled or held for hours in good conditions elsewhere on the hill — build a spare day into the trip rather than a tight connection out of it.

Weight limits are equipment limits

A wing is certified for a range, and being outside it changes how it flies. This is a specification, not a judgement, and a pilot who waves it through is not doing you a favour.

At launch, you run

The single instruction that matters: when the pilot says go, keep running until your feet leave the ground and do not sit down. Sitting early collapses the wing's airflow at the worst possible moment.

Hands off the lines

Everything above you is doing something. Hold the harness straps you are shown and nothing else, and do not reach for a camera unless it is on a wrist strap.

Fly with a licensed pilot

Ask to see the pilot's licence and the wing's certification. In India this is checked by the state at the site; it is a reasonable thing to ask about and an unreasonable thing to be refused.

Who is actually running this trip?

The operator you picked on the compare screen. You book and pay MyAdventure; the operator runs the trip for us. MyAdventure handles refunds, and steps in if the batch is cancelled.

What if I cannot complete it?

Ask the operator what their turn-back protocol is — it varies by trip, and the good ones publish it.

Is the batch mixed-gender and solo-friendly?

Most departures take solo travellers and share accommodation by gender. Confirm with the operator for this batch.
