About Bandipur paragliding

Bandipur Paragliding is a popular adventure activity in Bandipur, a scenic hilltop town in central Nepal located between Kathmandu and Pokhara. It offers a tandem paragliding experience, where a trained pilot flies with you, making it safe even for beginners. The take-off point is usually on the hilltops near Bandipur Bazaar, and the flight gives a breathtaking aerial view of the town, surrounding valleys, terraced fields, forests, and the Himalayan ranges including Annapurna, Manaslu, and Ganesh Himal on clear days. A typical flight lasts about 15 to 30 minutes, depending on weather and wind conditions. During the flight, you can enjoy a peaceful “floating” experience combined with light adventure as you glide over traditional villages and natural landscapes. Bandipur paragliding is known for being less crowded than Pokhara, offering a quieter and more scenic experience. It is suitable for first-time flyers, with no prior experience needed, as professional instructors handle the entire flight with safety equipment and briefing.
