But if you have it, we’ll know. Learn to soar the skies from the Pioneers of the Sport. Be a pilot’s pilot. We don’t just want you to learn to control equipment, but to think like a pilot. So you can take decisions on the fly. Pun Intended.

What is Tandem Paragliding?Tandem paragliding flights involve a passenger being securely strapped into a comfortable flying harness positioned in front of the pilot and connected to the pilot and the glider. The tandem glider is specially designed to carry two people and is nearly twice the size of a regular solo paraglider. This is easiest way to experience flying like a bird!!
-
Do I need prior experience to Fly?NO EXPERIENCE IS REQUIRED ON YOUR PART! You don’t need any previous knowledge or experience of paragliding at all to fly with us. Pilots and our staff brief you on everything you need to know, before the flight. We fly anyone… kids from 5 years old, disabled, blind, deaf and passengers of up to 98 kg’s. We has even flown a 78 year old lady! Listen to the simple instructions given and enjoy the flight! Take off’s are safe and easy, generally just a few steps and we are airborne, and landings are usually really soft.
-
When and how can I book?Booking is best done by calling us on +91 (0) 99239 22277 for immediate attention. Email booking is also acceptable, but we don’t always immediately respond to email as we are often out flying, so calling or WhatsApp is best. We require a mobile cell phone number for you to make a booking (even an international number is fine). This is to reconfirm the booking on the morning of flight (we always do this as a matter of courtesy) and to inform you if there are unexpected weather changes. You can call and book spontaneously, on the day, but of course advanced booking always ensures you a place. Always try to reach earlier in time at Kamshet as our sport is weather dependant. Confirmation can be done by making part/full payment in advance.

Is paragliding dangerous?Not at all. The take-off is simple and landings are soft and safe.
