Best TimeThrough out the Year

Paragliding in Kathmandu is an exciting and serene way to enjoy the beautiful scenery of the city. This experience offers you a bird's-eye view of the green hills, historic temples, and scattered villages that encircle the Kathmandu Valley, unlike trekking or hiking. The majority of flights depart from Chandragiri, which are roughly an hour's drive from the city center. These locations offer broad skies and the ideal altitude for a smooth takeoff.

Observe the views of Chandragiri Hill, the Himalayan range (on clear days), and Kathmandu Valley below as you soar through the skies with a qualified pilot. Gentle wind keeps your flight steady and graceful. It is a combination of awe and excitement. Even for newbies, paragliding is a fantastic choice here, whether you're an adventurer or just want to try something different.

What to Expect and How to Prepare

Depending on the package and conditions, a normal paragliding session in Kathmandu lasts between 15 and 30 minutes. The majority of airlines provide tandem flights, which entail that you will travel with a skilled pilot who manages all controls while you enjoy the trip. No prior knowledge is required.

The price ranges from USD 80 to USD 120, which typically includes transportation to the launch location, safety equipment, and pictures or films of your flight. All you need to wear are sports shoes, sunglasses, and comfy clothing.

Highlights of Paragliding in Kathmandu

  • Flyover the Chandragiri hills: Glide over the beautiful hills near the city. Green and lush forests can be seen.
  • View Mountains: On a clear day, you can see the stunning views of Langtang and Ganesh Himal Ranges.
  • Beginner-Friendly Adventure: Certified pilots fly with you. Don’t worry if you are a beginner, you will be safe. 
  • Unique Perspective: The aerial view of Kathmandu Valley is unique. The rivers, temples and fields can be seen from above.
  • Quick and Lasting: The adventure is short but memorable. You will have a lasting memory even in 20-30 minutes of paragliding.
