Blissful

Hey everyone, so this is a story of how I fell in love with nature and flying with Temple Pilots.

I did my first tandem flight in 2021. Skipping to 2023, I tried learning the sport with an organisation in Bir. I did solo flights and enjoyed them but didn’t get to know much about the sport except ground handling. Thankfully I met some “Temple Pilots” club pilots in Bir itself and they suggested me to do the further training with Temple Pilots. In 2025, I finally came to Temple Pilots base to get trained for the sport and major difference that I found was the attention to the safety, to the theory and to the details of the Paragliding. Believe me “safety” is the most important thing in Paragliding and the more knowledgeable/aware you are in this sport, the more safe you are in the sky. “Good pilot is not the one who knows how to take off, good pilot is the one who knows when not to take off”. Now that I know better about the sport, I realise how risky it was to have my first solo flight from the second highest Paragliding spot in the world.

My experience with Temple Pilots was blissful. Every instructor was so friendly and at the same time so serious about the sport, which is necessary and I want to thank Temple Pilots from the bottom of my heart and especially Avi Sir and Anita Ma’am for making Temple Pilots happen. I feel very grateful that I got to experience learning this beautiful aviation sport, paragliding, with Temple Pilots.

It’s all fun and games until this thing goes south, so I just want to say choose your school wisely, choose Temple Pilots.
