Our program

Our program is aimed at licenced pilots and strives to make your flying adventure as pleasant and comfortable as possible. But don't forget we're in India......so expect the unexpected!

Below a day-to-day overview of the program:

Day 1: Arrival day. People will be coming from all different parts of the world to join our paragliding adventure. Please be at our joining point1 at 9.00am for the group meeting. After the meeting we will immerse ourselves in the smells and sights of Old Delhi. We will visit the Jama Masjid, Chandni Chowk, a Sikh Gurudwara and the spice bazars of this historical place. Be prepared for a culture shock! In the evening we will board our overnight train to Pathankot.

Day 2: After arrival in Pathankot we will transfer to private taxis for our 3 hrs journey to Chaughan (near Bir) where we will check into our colourful Tibetan homes. After a quick look at the landing zone(s) we will take jeeps up to take off for our first flying day.

Day 3 - 13: During our flying days, we will fully explore the flying potential of this amazing area. Depending on the wheather conditions and the aspirations of the pilots, we will set out challenging flying tasks. And when the conditions are optimal we will off course make some spectacular cross country flights. Flights of 50-100 km out and return are within reach of every pilot who has thermaling experience.

Day 14: Today afternoon we will take private taxis back to Pathankot to board the overnight train once more for our journey back to Delhi.

Day 15: Departure day. After arrival in New Delhi we will transfer back to our starting point hotel where we can use dayrooms to freshen up after the journey. Make sure you don't book a ticket home before 2 pm, in case of train delays.
