Trisha Shrestha Bomjan

TRISHA SHRESTHA BOMJAN

Tandem Pilot

She is the wife of Rajesh and first female paragliding pilot of Nepal. At the time when a Nepali woman becoming a paragliding pilot seemed like an abnormal idea, it was her challenge to prove women are as strong and as good as men. That fact motivated her to choose the profession that was often considered as synonymous to danger and masculinity.

WORDS FROM OUR DIRECTOR

As the first Nepali paragliding pilot, I feel blessed to have been able to spend my life learning, promoting and developing this incredible sport in Pokhara. As Managing Director of Sunrise Paragliding I am dedicated to ensure that the future of paragliding here in Nepal is a positive one. We have been seeing more and more pilots coming every year to fly, and more local pilots earning their own wings. The population of pilots is growing rapidly, and my aim is to ensure that the facilities for proper training, equipment, and infrastructure are in place so that the sport can be enjoyed in this Himalayan Kingdom for years to come.
