  The mild and super-consistent weather of the Pokhara valley provide excellent conditions for all levels of pilot. From beginner through to cross country hounds, Nepal has it all.Often the most crucial part of any pilots training is immediately after they have qualified and have to fly outside of the school environment. This can seem daunting especially as the new pilot often has to deal with unfamiliar conditions, such as thermals. A lot of pilots are not trained in school to fly in thermic conditions and need extra instruction. Sunrise Paragliding offers this course for pilots looking to improve the necessary skills and decisions that give you the best chance of soaring away from the familiar environment of the ridge to the freedom of the open skies.
This course is an introduction to thermal flying with the objective of improving the pilot’s knowledge and skills needed to make the most of the lift on any given day. DAY 2: Meet in the office for equipment and radio check. After assessing the conditions we head out for the days flying site. Following on from the previous day we try and keep you in the air as long as possible. The longer you are up the more you are learning. DAY 3: We try and take you to a different site each day to improve you knowledge and assessment of varying conditions. The last day of the course we try and get you to follow the instructor around the sky. We have found that it is a lot easier to get to cloud base with someone else in the thermal with you, talking you through the process. At the end of each day is a de-briefing session, where everyone can sit down and talk about the days flying.
