PARAGLIDING

It is an adventure activity in which you fly in the sky with help of a parachute operated by a pilot (another person with you who will handle all the flight like the real pilot of planes )

WHERE YOU CAN DO IN INDIA :

1)Bir-Billing, Kangra Valley, HP (Asia's highest and world 2nd highest point for paragliding)

2)Manali, HP

3)Idukki, Munnar, Kerala

4)Bedni Bugyal, Uttrakhand

5)Mussourie, Uttrakhand

6)Arambol beach, Goa

There are also many other points in India. You can search on google before going there whether it is available or not.

HOW MUCH YOU HAVE TO PAY:

It depends on the tourist season of that area and time duration of your flight. Rates may be between 1.5k-5k per person. I have done paragliding in 1.5k in Manali in July 2018. Budget tips for paragliding:

1)Go just before starting and after ending of tourist season. You will get everything at low rates.

2)Go early morning like 7-8AM . At that time there will be less number of tourists. I used this trick to get the cost reduced from 3k to 1.5k.

HOW DO YOU FEEL:

Don't overthink about the fear. There will be a pilot with you who will control the flight. Everybody has some fear of heights. I am also afraid of heights but I did it. There will be little fear during taking off like planes but believe me after that you will enjoy the view. So whenever you get a chance of any adventure activity; just do it without any second thoughts.

As Jordan's quote says :

"Limits, like fear, is often an illusion".
