Paragliding in Uttarakhand is tandem flying over lake country and Kumaon ridges — the established sites cluster around Naukuchiatal (near Nainital), Mukteshwar, and the Pithoragarh side, flying typically from October to June with the monsoon shut.
What to expect
- Tandem flights: 7–15 minutes of airtime with certified pilots; no experience needed.
- Prices: roughly ₹1,500–3,500 per flight depending on site and duration — confirm current rates.
- Conditions: clear, calm mornings fly best; wind and rain ground operations.
- Safety: choose operators with certified gear and weight/age limits clearly stated (typical limits ~35–95 kg).
