About this experience
Paragliding is the best-known adventure in Gangtok. You take off from a ridge above the town with a certified tandem pilot and glide down over the valley, usually for about 10–15 minutes depending on the wind, before landing on an open ground below.
No experience is needed: you run a few steps at take-off and sit back. We book the flight and the pickup from Gangtok; the pilot briefs you before you fly.
