The instructors are very experienced and give perfect guidance to teach in a save and fun way. Avi and Anita are very friendly and welcoming, I felt at home right away. The flying sites are beautiful and perfect for learning and the prices are very reasonable. I love to fly with temple pilots and to be part of this amazing club of adventurous, open and friendly people.
Currently I am doing a 20 day course and every single day I cannot take this big smile off my face. The theory is well explained end also well tested and the instructors bring the theory into the field with practical excersises and exams aswell. After every flight there is a debrief to see what went well and what should be improved and this makes a huge step towards understanding the glider. I can see a big improvement every single day and so far in just 10 days we went to 5 different flying sites for soaring, 5 amazing spots with each different limitation points and a different traffic style so it is soo good to see the different ways of flying at different spots. Also the nature is amazingly gorgeous!
My longest flight within 11 days was already over one hour for just one flight! And even though it was a independend flight with almodt no radio instructions the instructors kept a very sharp I on the students and are watching every move of the student and their interaction with the other gliders to see they keep if they keep a safe margin and obey all the traffic rules (yes there are traffic rules in the sky 🤓).
There are always more then 2 instructors at site and we had a day that there where more instructors then students, they know exactly what to tell you to correct the glider if necessary and if you listen to the instructors your safety is for my part guaranteed because they know how to teach and to keep their students safe. I feel very safe all the time and have not crashed at all! On training hill I saw students of another paragliding school crash constantly because their instructors where not able to give the right information at the right time and this makes a huge difference.
Then the food.. as a European citizen I am not used to spicy food and I do not like food that is spicy hot but at temple pilots they made the food a bit less spicy for me so I could still enjoy it. The food is very nutricious and most of the time very tasty, if there was a dish I did not like that much there was always something else to eat or I just had some more dessert 🙃 there are fresh bananas, cucumber and carrots everyday and twice a day there is chai and cookies!! 🍪
Temple pilots is the highest ranked APPI school in India, it is a very professional paragliding school and definitely the best in whole India. For the prices they charge you will never get the same quality anywhere in the world.
