Paragliding in Nepal
Paragliding is a fairly new adventure sport in Nepal. Paragliding in this Himalayan country can be a truly superb and fulfilling experience for the adventure-seekers. You can experience unequaled attractive splendor as you share airspace with Himalayan griffin vultures, eagles, kites, while floating over villages, monasteries, temples, lakes and jungles, with a fantastic view of the majestic Himalayas.
