    Nice.. These seem like brilliant landscapes to do paragliding. The only place I have done it so far is in Goa and I really loved the experience, the wind and the quietness. I can only imagine how exciting it would be in these places, esp Himachal and the NE sector where the scenic beauty is astounding to say the least 🙂
