Paragliding above Kathmandu: Chandragri Hills to Chitlang

Paragliding in Kathmandu has evolved from a niche pastime into a must-do bucket-list adventure.

While Pokhara remains Nepal’s paragliding capital, Chandragiri Hills now offers an equally breathtaking experience just a short drive from the city.

Paragliding from Chandragiri Hills to Chilang, Kathmandu paragliding

Launching from Chandragiri’s high ridge, you’ll soar above the Kathmandu Valley and, on clear days, glimpse Himalayan giants like Ganesh Himal, Langtang Lirung, and even distant Everest.

This experience is a tandem flight with a certified pilot who manages all technical aspects.

No prior experience is needed—just strap in, follow the pilot’s lead, and drift like a bird over lush hills and urban sprawl.

Flight durations range from 25 to 30 minutes, giving you ample time to absorb the panoramic vistas and feel the rush of high-altitude wind.

My prime agency for all the tickets. Every staff are cheerful and will cater to your needs perfectly. I recommend contacting through viber though if you dont have the time or energy to visit the site.

The Kathmandu, Chitwan, and Pokhara tour package exceeded my expectations. The itinerary was well-planned, covering key attractions in each location.

Kathmandu offered a cultural immersion with its ancient temples and vibrant markets. The guided tours were informative, and the free time allowed for personal exploration.

Chitwan's wildlife experience was a highlight. The jungle safari provided opportunities to spot diverse fauna, and the overall stay was comfortable.

In Pokhara, the serene lakes and stunning mountain views created a tranquil atmosphere. The optional activities, such as boating on Phewa Lake and visiting the World Peace Pagoda, added value.

Accommodations were satisfactory, and transportation between locations was efficient. The tour guides were knowledgeable and helpful throughout.

Overall, the tour provided a well-rounded experience of Nepal's diverse landscapes and cultures. I recommend for those seeking a balanced mix of adventure and cultural exploration.

Booked a Hotel in New Delhi, India. It was my first time visiting New Delhi and without any concrete knowledge about the logging and traveling ideas, I visited Speedy Tourism's office and I couldn't be much more happier that I did. The staffs were very responsive and helpful, tried to clear my doubts and answered all my questions before mentioning any business to them. The hotel in New Delhi is also very good, Nepali owned so it was a excellent experience.
