What
could be make common that to find two
terms together adventure and Nepal ! For
many, the stage has a fantastic back rap.
The towering peaks of the Himalayas and
the high, pugged passes leading into lush
green valleys an awe inspiring land which
is popular Hinduism regards as the dwelling
place myriad Gods.
The
tiny Himalayan kingdom of Nepal, popularly
referred to as mysterious world is yet
to be explored in a great detail. With
the advancement in technologies, we can
ever greatly appreciate such uniqueness
and a wonderful natural setting. Paragliding,
an adventure sports just aids that dimension
through which we can enjoy our combined
experiences of flying and exploring this
unique world. Because it is easy to transport
in all terrain, roads, easy to launch
and land even back on the top of the mountain
or the side of a hill, it fits much to
a Nepali context. NO wonder paragliders
have thus designed to soar. The duration
recorded is over 11 hours and the distance
record is 300 kilometers. Average recreational
pilots, utilizing thermal and ridge lift,
routinely stay a lot for 3 hours or more,
soar to altitude of 15,000 ft. and travel
cross country for great distances.
In
training you will start out just skimming
the ground. As you progress and become
more skilled and conficlent you will probably
won't to go higher and use the wing for
soaring. The paraglider itself constructed
of rip-stop nylon from which the pilot
is suspended by sturdy Kevlar lines. The
pilot is clipped into a harness and oriented
in a sitting position for maximum comfort.
Once in the air, you fly like a bind,
and soon you will be amazed to find how
quiet and peaceful the experience could
be.
Although
paragliding is not entirely a new concept
for this part of the world, much of its
use has beenlimited either be personal
from or a limited commercial use. What
has not be emphasized is how might we
able to expound this adventure sports
among the citizens of this country and
among many foreign tourists who simply
wish to have more funs from their visits.
Proper training institutes with advantage
facilities are require din a country to
this sort of tourists area.
