Temple Pilots: Safe, Sure, and Memorable

It is a miracle that humans can soar in skies in a paraglider, like birds! Temple Pilots make this dream come true in the most ‘safe and sure’ way.

Temple Pilots prioritize student pilot safety over everything else. Through a well designed training system (APPI), feedback, encouragenent and coaching, they are able to teach paragliding to common folks.

Temple Pilots have a very professional team of trainers and coaches who provide constant feedback, encouragenent and evaluation of the progress being made.

Chief Flying Instructor – Mr. Ankush Takve is a Master Coach. He makes this adventure-sport easy and fun while taking extreme care of student pilots’ safety, provides constant motivation and instant feedback for improvement.

Avi and Anita – promoters of Temple Pilots – are passionate flyers who have created this micro-universe of Paragliding Enthusiasts from around the world. They are also wonderful mentors and hosts. Insta-discussions with them, other coaches and fellow student pilots make the stay at campus memorable and special.

It was a great experience to be at Temple Pilots to attend a Student Pilot course. Would highly recommend for Safe and Sure way to learn paragliding.

Temple Pilots: Skills, Support, and Family Feeling

I got so much benifit from this training, I learn so many things , I learn how to control my mind in the times of different situation, if the weather does not permits us to fly I learned how to control my mind to be patience, and in the air while flying, when the glider goes wrong I learned not only the skills to control the glider but also to control my mental state not to panic,I think that’s a great lesson for me.
I really liked the APPI system of learning,, all the instructors act like our friend, we can share our problems with no hesitate, I like the way they guide me, they guide with gentle and soft command it’s really nice to hear it.. And I really liked the way how sir Avi treats his guys,, I also notice and I saw and hear many times that he praise the other instructor through radio command, I think it would be so nice for the instructors,, sometimes during the debriefing time, he says”let’s clap for sir vikash or others” , it’s so nice and I learned how to treat the other.
About the training, I learned so many things, how to stable our glider, why the collapse happens and how to manage it and so many things, it’s an amazing adventurous experience in my life that I can’t forget.
Lastly, I want to say thankyou to all the instructors and especially Sir Avi malik, for giving me the opportunity to experience this things and to become a better pilot and also to become one of a family member of Temple Pilots, I fell so proud of it.. If I had a chance I really want to do this course again and hope to see us again and fly together.
Thank you.

Safe, Exhaustive, and Truly Memorable Training

Writing this a week after completing my 10 days P1 and P2 course from Temple Pilots, Kamshet. All the 10 days were memorable and the teaching style is superb, catering to every individual’s progress.
All the instructors are proficient not just in the sport but also in other aspects of life. I found the teaching pattern to be safe and exhaustive and the instructors will make sure you focus on the fundamentals first.

The feeling of achieving your first solo flight from both training hill and tower hill is inexpressible. I learnt a lot more than just paragliding, and fell in love with the routine throughout the day.

It felt nice to have that feeling of getting back to school and learn the adventurous sport of paragliding from scratch!
Kudos to the entire Temple Pilots team for offering this experience in India 🙌🏻

Temple Pilots: Dedicated Team and High Safety Standards

After thorough research of 2-3 months on flying schools in India, I’m glad I landed on Temple Pilots. Temple pilots is not just any other flying school but a community of driven people who exude a lot of love and dedication for paragliding as a sport. The quality of training in terms of both theory and on the ground practice is top notch.

The instructors keenly observe every student and progress them to the next level only if the student is confident and has adequate knowledge and skill. This is to make sure that the student enjoys the sport and also to ensure safety is at the highest priority.

The dorm is very well maintained and the food is super delicious and healthy. The school has a very engaging, positive and endearing vibe which definitely rubs off on to the place from Avi and Anita.

Undoubtedly the best choice I have made for my journey in the skies.

Temple Pilots: Passion, Guidance, and Excellence

I chose to undergo my 10 Day APPI Paragliding course at Temple Pilots after a lot of research considering quality of education, safety, quality equipment, recognition as a Pilot and fooding & lodging. Ms Shreya clarified all my queries over WhatsApp and email before finalising the course and coordinated my schedule. The instructors Ankush, Jets, Vikas, Vinayak, Sagar, Santosh, Praveen are thorough professionals and brought forward detailed analysis of our individual performances during debrief with each progressive training. They were always helpful and clarified our doubts with the training at any time. The course is planned in a very progressive manner to impart training from understanding your glider at ground to being able to fly independently. The course is also designed to enrich your experience as a Pilot and to build your confidence. Avi & Anita, The Founders, runs Temple Pilots with much more passion & personal touch as their very own journey to share this experience of being able to fly with others. We were also joined by an accomplished Competitive Pilot Ajay to guide and train us. We shared quality interaction time in the evening at The Zen post training. The quality of food was amazing and we were served three meals a day at a very nominal cost. I enjoyed every bit of learning and gaining my experience as Paraglider Pilot at the Temple Pilots. And for those who learn to soar high with Temple Pilots, they provide lot of incentives & opportunities to further your pilot education and experience around the world as part of Temple Pilot Club Member. Kudos and Thanks to Team Temple Pilots for imparting quality and safe training. Looking forward to Fly Higher and Vibe Higher with you again. ✌

Highly Recommended: Safe and Professional Paragliding Experience

Outstanding experience!! The team is top notch… Very professional, highly experienced and with the best safety standards…they take care of you!

I did the APPI 2 course (10 days) and thoroughly enjoyed learning and staying at Temple Pilots. Not only do they teach you the technical skills but perhaps more importantly help developing the right approach, confidence and mental strength which is so required for safe flying. Also found the extensive debrief sessions very useful where each flight of the day is discussed in detail and we get to learn a lot more from our own as well as the other students’ experiences.

Truly an amazing sport and this is the best place to learn it.. Highly recommended!
Positive
Communication, Quality, Professionalism, Value
