Gods.
The tiny Himalayan kingdom of Nepal, popularly
referred to as mysterious world is yet to be explored
in a great detail. With the advancement in technologies,
we can ever greatly appreciate such uniqueness
and a wonderful natural setting. Paragliding,
an adventure sports just aids that dimension through
which we can enjoy our combined experiences of
flying and exploring this unique world. Because
it is easy to transport in all terrain, roads,
easy to launch and land even back on the top of
the mountain or the side of a hill, it fits much
to a Nepali context.

distance record is 300 kilometers. Average recreational
pilots, utilizing thermal and ridge lift, routinely
stay a lot for 3 hours or more, soar to altitude
of 15,000 ft. and travel cross country for great
distances. |
In

ground. As you progress and become more skilled
and conficlent you will probably won't to go higher
and use the wing for soaring. The paraglider itself
constructed of rip-stop nylon from which the pilot
is suspended by sturdy Kevlar lines. The pilot
is clipped into a harness and oriented in a sitting
position for maximum comfort. Once in the air,
you fly like a bind, and soon you will be amazed
to find how quiet and peaceful the experience
could be. |
