There were so many options of activities and things to do or see in Pokhara – from paragliding and boating, to hiking, trekking or white water rafting. We weren’t really there long enough to do any proper trekking, plus I think it would have been hard work in the height of the monsoon summer, so we dismissed that option.

There are a multitude of different flights .that you can do, from single 40minute ones to a multiday cross-country expedition that explores the valleys beneath the Annapurna massif. The majority of flights start from the dramatic peak of Sarangkot, just north of Pokhara.
For professional Paragliders, there is also the opportunity to try the newly developed sport of Parahawking, Parahawking involves the use of Eagles and Pariah Kites as guides to the best thermals(Rising currents of warm air) and allows for much longer and more interesting flights.

Avia Club Nepal conducts such flights. Power gliding one engine glider provides a bird’s eye view of exotic valley Pokhara and the white (snow) mountains range of Annapurna and Dhaulagiri range.
