Tandem Flights
Tandem flight involves flying along with an instructor as a passenger. Both the pilot and passenger have separate harnesses, which feels like an armchair. Once after take off the passenger sits back and enjoys the magic of being airborne. Nothing can beat the thrill of flying alongside eagles and vultures to guide us all the while enjoying stunning views of the Annapurna range, pristine lakes and verdant valleys like nowhere else on earth.

All the staff we met at Sunrise Paragliding in Pokhara were very professional and gave you confidence that you were in safe hands. They picked us up at the hotel... read more to take us to their office while we waited for the previous flight to return. A short ride in their 4x4 up to Sarangkot to the launch site. Safety helmet provided and instructions carried out on launch procedure and we were off and up. We paid for the 45 minute cross country trip and we took our own GroPro cameras to record our flights, which Sunrise we happy with. It was fantastic. After my initial nervousness, we glided through the air observing the eagles and the other paragliders circling around us. my pilot was Trisha the first female paraglider in Nepal and she soon had us going higher and higher as we chased the thermals. If you have a chance, go for it you won't regret it. the views of the lake below and the mountains were incredible. We landed by the lake side to be taken back to the office in the 4x4. well worth the money.

They were excellent, quick to respond via facebook messenger, and extremely professional and friendly in person. ... read more Our package included photos and video, and each of the paragliding pilots had their own selfie stick and took lots of photos and videos for us, which we downloaded onto our computer afterwards. This was a present for our sons, ages 13 and 14, and we were delighted they were old enough to participate. Their pilots even did a few spins with them to give them an extra thrill. Overall, our experience couldn't have been better or felt safer. Thanks, Sunrise, for an amazing experience. We hope business continues to pick up!
