When you get a hang of this sport, you will be addicted! It is the time to leave and experience the universe of flexibility, thrill and outright adventures with all the more flying sports like skydiving, parasailing, and even bungee jumping.

    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 🙂
