 Para Gliding

Riding the warm thermal currents of the air is perhaps the closest man has ever come to sailing the skies as free as a bird. Almost at will, you dip and wheel high over the hills and valleys.

Gliding is the latest aero sport in India. Following places are ideal for gliding. Srinagar valley (Jammu and Kashmir), Kangra, Dharamsala, Shimla and Kasuli (Himachal Pradesh), the entire Western Ghats, including Pune (Mharastra), the Nilgiri hills (Tamil Nadu), Indore (Madhya Pradesh), the Chamundi hills and areas around Bangalore, Mysore (Karnataka) and Shillong (Meghalaya).

Most India’s Para Gliding sites have been highly rated, and those in the lower reaches of the Himalayas may provide the best regions in the World.

India, with its vast Himalayan ranges and of clean blue skies, is an ideal paragliding country offering gliding for nearly the whole year at different sites. Para - gliding is the latest aero sport. The origin of the sport dates back to 1940 when an aviation pioneer, Dr. Francis Rogallo filed for a patent for his flexible Delta Kite. However, in early 1980s parachutes were foot-launched regularly from hills. Since then, this sport has been rapidly expanding.

A para glider is a specially designed square parachute along with a harness attached by lines and is made of ripstop nylon which is specially coated with polyurethane to ensure zero porosity. The para-gliding canopy is made of non-porous material (like ripstop nylon or polyester) which lets no air pass through it. Its lines are most important part, made of strong material called Kevlar, these control lines lets the pilot maneuver the movements.

 A para-glider weighs roughly 6 -7 kilos can be folded into a back pack, can be packed and unpacked in about 8 -10 minutes. While Para Gliding has only just been introduced to India, several sites have already been identified by the experts, and those that merit note are the Srinagar valley in Jammu and Kashmir, Kangra, Dharamsala, Shimla and Kasauli in Himachal Pradesh, the entire western ghats, including Pune, in Maharastra, the Nilgiri hills in Tamil Nadu, Indore in Madhya Pradesh, the Chamundi hills and areas around Bangalore, Mysore in Karnataka and Shillong in Meghalaya. Most Para Gliding sites in India have been highly rated, and those in the lower reaches of the Himalayas may provide the best regions in the World.
