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.

Our family of 4 went paragliding with this company in November 2021. 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!

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.
