The paragliding destination, Sarangkot, is a short drive away from Pokhara. Sarangkot is situated to the west of Pokhara and is a popular vantage point to witness the views of the Pokhara valley and the Himalayas, such as Annapurna I (8091m), Dhaulagiri (8167m), and Machhapuchhre (6997m). At an altitude of 1,592 meters, Sarangkot is also the best hotspot for paragliding in the country. There are two ways you can paraglide at Sarangkot; Tandem paragliding and paragliding on your own.
