Activities / paragliding
TLDR;
Sarangkot is oftentimes hailed as one of the best paragliding spots in the world (sources: Studentsfare, Tripsavvy) because of the incredible Annapurna backdrop you'll be flying against, the altitude difference between the takeoff point in Sarangkot (1600m) and the landing by the lake (800m) that contribute to stable thermals and gentle wind pattern.
The take off point is a hilltop of the village called Toripani, a mere 2.5 km away from our place, Superview Lodge in Sarangkot. Every morning around 11AM, on a clear day, gliders jump off from this hill into the banks of the Phewa lake. The lake acts as an incredible thermal balancer as well as provides a large safe landing spot on its shore. The flight is only available on tandem with an experienced pilot and lasts between 20 to 30 minutes.
Please send us an email or message on WhatsApp for booking. The cost for this activity is Rs. 8500 per person. This fee includes transportation to the take off point and from the landing point to Lakeside. It also includes photos and a video captured from your pilot's GoPro.
Note unfortunately that the paragliding price has historically been very volatile. Therefore despite our attempts to keep our webpage up-to-date, sometimes we might fail to do so, thus it doesn't hurt of confirm the price with us once again before your booking. Apologies for the inconvenience.
