Paragliding & Hanggliding

Paragliding in Nepal

Paragliding in Nepal is one of the country’s most thrilling adventure experiences, combining breathtaking Himalayan scenery with ideal flying conditions. With its diverse landscapes, steady thermals, and scenic valleys, Nepal—especially places like Pokhara—has become a globally recognized destination for both recreational and competitive paragliding. From soaring above serene lakes to gliding alongside mountain ranges, the experience offers a unique perspective of Nepal’s natural beauty. Supported by organizations like the Nepal Paragliding and Hanggliding Association, the sport continues to grow with a strong focus on safety, professionalism, and international standards.

Hanggliding in Nepal

Hang gliding in Nepal offers a pure and exhilarating form of free flight, allowing pilots to soar through the skies with unmatched control and connection to nature. Though less common than paragliding, hang gliding is steadily gaining attention among adventure enthusiasts seeking a more dynamic flying experience. With Nepal’s dramatic landscapes, strong thermals, and open valleys—especially around regions like Pokhara—the country provides excellent conditions for this sport. Supported and regulated by the Nepal Paragliding and Hanggliding Association, hang gliding in Nepal continues to develop with an emphasis on safety, skill, and exploration.
