Mission/Vision

Paragliding is the recreational and competitive adventure sport of flying paragliders: lightweight, free-flying, foot-launched glider aircraft with no rigid primary structure. The pilot sits in a harness or lies supine in a cocoon-like 'pod' suspended below a fabric wing. Wing shape is maintained by the suspension lines, the pressure of air entering vents in the front of the wing, and the aerodynamic forces of the air flowing over the outside.

Despite not using an engine, paraglider flights can last many hours and cover many hundreds of kilometres, though flights of one to two hours and covering some tens of kilometres are more the norm. By skillful exploitation of sources of lift, the pilot may gain height, often climbing to altitudes of a few thousand metres.

We are a Green Key establishment
 

Paragliding Nepal make a special effort to protect the environment and therefore the climate. We have made improvements to ensure that both we, and you as our guest, are “greener”.

Green Key is the international eco-label of the tourism industry, which is awarded to companies that comply with a number of environmental requirements in many different areas.

The establishment must, for instance, introduce environmental management, reduce its energy and water consumption, sort waste, use environmentally friendly cleaning products, promote organic products, avoid chemical herbicides and much more. We line-dry, use LED lamps, use recycled paper and recycle all of our waste.

We are a Natural Bed & Breakfast

Paragliding Nepal is located in the Suryachowr –  belongs to the community of services in the protected areas of Shivhapuri Range, Nuwakot District.

All of the members in this association must share its values – ensuring conservation of the natural and socio-cultural values and the appreciation of the activities and traditional and authentic knowledge of this community, projecting them both nationally and internationally.  The empowerment of local communities and preservation of nature are some of its main goals.

Being Local

Belonging to a community like ours in Suryachowr, it is important to celebrate and encourage all the small businesses around.  Therefore, we shop locally, and whenever is the season, our fruit comes from the local farmers.  Our products is locally made for extra services. We suggest gifts from local small businesses, like honey, wine and tiles.  As for the caring, we support a few local charities also.

Being Sync With Nature

We love nature and Suryachowr. Celebrating its beauty and caring for it is a part of our life. We promote activities that encourage everyone to experience the famous Mystery of Suryachowr, like walking, cycling, climbing, paragliding and surfing – or rather, the ones with a low Carbon Footprint. Our favorite modes of transporte are bicycle and horse and carriage. Some of us volunteer for the up-keep of the walking trails in Suryachowr.
