Launch from Sarangkot and glide above Phewa Lake with the Annapurna range filling the horizon. This tandem paragliding experience delivers close-up mountain views, easy access from Pokhara, and a lakeside landing at Lakeside.
More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You stand on Sarangkot’s western rim at 1,592 m as the valley exhales beneath you: terraces, village roofs and the blue mirror of Phewa Lake pull away while thermals tease the wing. The pilot checks harness and lines, the wing catches wind, and for a few intense heartbeats the slope slips away — then you are flying, shoulder to shoulder with vultures and kites as the Annapurna massif slides into view.
