 This course is designed to give you a fair idea about paragliding and what it promises. We absolutely feel that you will come away from the first day solo lesson with so much more for these reasons:
First of all, you are the pilot! You will learn to inflate, kite, run, launch fly and land the paraglider wing yourself. The overwhelming response after the first flight is "WOW, I can't believe it was so easy to fly!" |

 I've flown the powered engines upto 40000 ft... but never knew flying the unpowered glider would be even more fun..
True guys..! A mind blowing experience... Being a pilot in Air India, flying the big jets for the last two years, I wanted to
feel the cold breeze hitting my face, and what I got was lot more...Totally contrary to flying aircrafts, getting airborne from a hill top, flying in unison
with birds and other gliders, having one to one interaction with wind, exploring the terrain for thermals and playing around with the colourful glider -
a sense of freedom, independence just like a bird - mesmerizing... never wanted to leave the skies... a week now and looks like i am already addicted ! |
