Tandem paragliding is Pokhara's signature adventure. You launch from Sarangkot, ride the thermals over Phewa Lake, and float with the Annapurnas filling the horizon — no experience needed, just a strapped-in seat behind a licensed pilot.
What to expect
A typical tandem flight lasts 25–30 minutes. Operators include transport up to the launch and usually a GoPro video. Ask for an "acro" add-on if you want spins and wingovers.
Good to know
- Best conditions are October–April, mornings and late afternoons.
- Pair the early start with sunrise at Sarangkot at the same viewpoint.
