This trip will take you over some of the best scenery on earth, as you share airspace with Himalayan griffin vultures, eagles, kites and float over villages, monasteries, temples, lakes and jungle, with a fantastic view of the majestic Himalayas. Pokhara, the beautiful lakeside town at the foot of the Annapurna Mountains, offers paragliding services. Best season is from October through April.
