Five of us came all the way from Greece to India with one thing in mind — we wanted to learn how to paraglide.
After researching where to learn, we ended up in Kamshet, Maharashtra, at Temple Pilots Paragliding.
What followed were four days of ground handling, slope runs, bunny hops, mini flights, theory, simulator sessions, debriefs and, finally, our first solo flights.
This isn’t just a video about learning to paraglide. It’s about what those first few days actually feel like — the nerves before your first take-off, the first time the wing lifts you off the ground, making mistakes, getting back up, slowly understanding what the wing is telling you, and finally realising that you’re actually flying.
We came to India thinking we’d spend a few days learning something completely new.
By the end of P1, some of us weren’t ready to stop. Some continued with longer and extended paragliding courses, spending more time flying, learning and exploring the mountains around Kamshet.
For all five of us, coming from Greece to India turned out to be about much more than learning a new sport.
It was the beginning of something we wanted to keep doing.
