Pokhara is the ideal location to attempt paragliding if you’re looking for something a little more daring. Because of the consistent thermals, convenient take-off and landing places, and, of course, the wonderful views over lakes, villages, hills, and incredibly high mountains, it is frequently regarded as one of the top tandem paragliding spots in the world. The average flying time is thirty minutes.
If paragliding isn’t your thing, there are a variety of short walks in and around Pokhara that you may do instead, such as to the Sarangkot overlook.
