Paragliding in Pokhara or Paragliding in Kathmandu?

Your travel plan and duration play a significant role when deciding between Kathmandu and
Pokhara Paragliding. Both Pokhara and Kathmandu offer a thrilling paragliding experience with
views of magnificent mountain ranges and picturesque landscapes.
Kathmandu Paragliding is perfect for those who have less time but want to experience the thrill
of flying. But, Paragliding in Pokhara is ideal for those who have more time to explore Nepal.
Additionally, Pokhara is the tourism hub that not only offers Paragliding but also serves as a
gateway to various trekking destinations such as Annapurna Base Camp Trek, Short Mardi
Himal Trek, and Ghorepani Poonhill Trek.

Therefore, we recommend Pokhara if you want to enjoy Nepal’s diverse natural beauty and
outdoor experiences including trekking, sightseeing, and boating. Otherwise, opt for Kathmandu
for a convenient and time-efficient flight with a breathtaking view of Kathmandu Valley
