If you do not use pre-paid services included in the itinerary (accommodation, sightseeing, meals, transport, and similar), no refund or reuse is offered for the unused portion. Refund conditions may be updated at the company's discretion. The company may cancel a trip before it is guaranteed to run or before an official agreement is signed. A trip is guaranteed once two travellers have paid in full unless a different minimum is stated for that departure. Circumstances such as natural disaster, cancelled flights, strike, industrial action, war, riot, quarantine, government intervention, weather, or a group member's health may force cancellation. In those cases you may choose either a refund of 75% of the total trip cost paid (13% government tax deducted from that refund) or reuse of the same value on an alternative trip at the same price in the same season and year. The booking deposit (25% of the total) remains non-refundable in that scenario. Cancellation must be sent in writing; the cancellation date is the date written notice is received. If you cancel one month before departure, 10… - **Booking type (label)**: supabase-request ## What’s included / kit / extras (plain text excerpts) ### Highlights This 2-hour Paragliding in Pokhara combines a guided day out with licensed leaders and a clear safety briefing before you start. You'll have time for the main activity, a simple lunch or snack stop, and the drive back to the city. 📋 Key Details Duration: About 2 hours on site for one tandem flight Location: Sarangkot or lakeside launch when wind suits Airtime: Typically 20 to 30 minutes in stable conditions Equipment: Helmet and harness fitted before launch Weather: Slots shift if thermals or wind are marginal 🗺️ What to Expect Tandem paragliding from Sarangkot above Pokhara puts you in a harness with a commercial pilot for 20 to 30 minutes over Phewa Lake and Machhapuchhre. Briefing and kit check happen on the hill before launch. Optional photo or video at the landing field records the flight if you want it. Thermals and wind decide the exact slot. You land near the lake and can be back in town for lunch. You walk back into lakeside streets after landing, with the rest of the afternoon free in Pokhara. 📍 Location Tandem flights launch from Sarangkot or lakeside sites around Pokhara when wind and thermals suit that sector. Briefings cover harness fit and launch commands. Transport to the hill or launch zone is arranged when it is part of the trip, with time built in for equipment checks. Landing near the lake keeps the rest of the day in Pokhara. 👟 Prerequisites Sturdy shoes and fitted clothing without loose scarves help at launch. Maximum weight limits apply for tandem pairs. Insurance should name paragliding or air sports if you want activity cover beyond standard travel policies. Share your weight when you reserve so the tandem pairing stays within limits. ✨ Why Choose Us Bhagwat built this office after years on the trail, and the same Kathmandu team books your tandem slot with licensed Pokhara pilots rather than leaving you to walk up Sarangkot hoping for a spare wing. We'll collect you from a Lakeside hotel, drive the hill, and check wind before anyone clips in. If the morning is blown out, we hold for a later window or another day instead of forcing a launch. Your pilot handles the run, the risers, and the landing so you can watch Phewa Lake and Machhapuchhre without managing the glider. Flights usually last twenty to thirty minutes when the air is stable. Photos and video are included, and we drop you back at Lakeside once the wing is packed. ### Essential information _None._ ### What’s included Tandem paragliding flight with a certified instructor Pokhara Lakeside hotel pickup and drop-off Flight video and photos included Activity insurance during the paragliding flight ### What’s not included Transport to and from the meeting point outside arranged airport transfers Expenses not listed in the package Tips for pilots, guides, and staff ### Kit list Sturdy footwear and layered clothing for the season Daypack, water, sun protection, and rain shell Passport copy and insurance documents for aviation or adventure cover Cash for tips, snacks, and local extras ## FAQs ### What should I wear? Sturdy shoes, layered clothing, and sun protection suit most day trips from Kathmandu or Pokhara. Leave valuables at your hotel when possible. Rain shells help in shoulder seasons even on short hikes. Briefings and equipment checks are part of the day rather than extra waiting time on the clock. ### Is transport included? Hotel pickup or a meeting-point transfer applies only when transport is part of this trip. Thamel hotels are the usual meet point; drivers need flight numbers to meet you at the international terminal. Share your hotel name and flight times ahead of travel so drivers can plan around Kathmandu or Pokhara traffic. Allow a little extra time after the trek before international flights home in case mountain roads or flights move. ### What if weather is poor? Aviation and wind sports move to the next safe window when cloud, wind, or visibility is marginal. Monsoon cloud sits lower on the hills while winter brings ice on steps above village level. The team contacts you as early as possible with another slot rather than pushing marginal conditions. Weather can shift daily plans, so your guide keeps a steady pace with regular breaks. ### How long is the day? Plan about 2 hours door to door when transfers are included; shorter if you meet at the trailhead or airport. Door-to-door time includes transfers when transport is part of the trip. Briefings and equipment checks are part of that window, not extra waiting time billed to you. Trail conditions are checked each morning before the group moves. ### Do I need experience? No prior experience is required when pilots or guides control the technical parts of the activity. Your crew would rather wait for a safe window than rush marginal weather. Mention medical conditions when you reserve so the guide or pilot can advise on pace or participation before travel. Shoulder weeks need an honest weather call before high passes or dawn viewpoints. ### What is included? Guided activity, safety equipment, and permits for the day are included when they are part of this trip. Permits for the regions you cross are arranged in Kathmandu or Pokhara when included. Meals, tips, personal insurance, and optional extras are paid separately unless they are part of this trip. Domestic flights, porters, and airport transfers apply only when they are part of this trip. ### What is not included? International flights, Nepal visa fees, and personal travel insurance are not covered. International flights, visa fees, and personal insurance stay outside the trek package. Optional video, extra jumps, or premium transfers are paid locally or as add-ons when offered. Hot showers, Wi-Fi, and battery charging in lodges are usually paid locally when offered. ### Can children join? Families join when children meet operator age and height rules for the specific activity. Tell us children’s ages when you reserve so the guide can confirm terrain and daily hours. Share children’s ages when you reserve so the operator can confirm height and age rules for that activity. Tell us children’s ages when you reserve so the guide can confirm terrain and daily hours. ### Where do we meet? Thamel hotels or Tribhuvan airport transfers are common meeting points when included. Allow a little extra time after the trek before international flights home in case mountain roads or flights move. Exact meet times are confirmed once your date is set; allow buffer for Kathmandu or Pokhara traffic. Thamel hotels are the usual meet point; drivers need flight numbers to meet you at the international terminal. ### What insurance do I need? Comprehensive travel insurance that names your activity is essential before you travel. Medical evacuation and helicopter rescue should appear on your policy if you trek above 4,000 m. Read policy wording before you fly so helicopter, jump, or river activities are named if you need that cover. Medical evacuation and helicopter rescue should appear on your policy if you trek above 4,000 m. ## Media - **Primary image URL (resolved in app; may be absolute)**: https://adventuro.com/cdn-cgi/image/width=1200,format=auto,quality=90/https://media.adventuro.com/public/d3f2ece0-e3af-4baf-909d-c53e4dfe7965/475d5d07-582d-4333-b8c0-d8297ec1a68a/original.webp - **Gallery image count**: 9 ## Limitations - Availability, exact session times, and final price may depend on the live booking flow. - This Markdown is generated from the same catalog fields as the public HTML page at the canonical URL above.
