Sports and leisure activities Pokhara

Founded in 2009, Anapurna Paragliding was one of the first agencies to pioneer tandem paragliding in the Himalayan mountains, and enjoys an excellent reputation. Their offers include simple two-seater flights for beginners, day-long initiations, as well as holidays combining trekking and paragliding. A team of experienced pilots guarantees your safety. No special experience is required, and all equipment is provided, except for windproof clothing.

It's the agency for thrills! Highground Adventures offers you the chance to slide down the world's deepest zip line (ZypFliyer), with a 600 m drop over 1.8 km and a top speed of 140 km/h! Or throw yourself into the void with a bungee cord from the top of the 80 m Bungee Tower, in an exceptional panorama. Another attraction: The SkyScreamer or the "giant swing", which swings 3 people harnessed to a harness into the void. Finally, the agency offers 1h or 2h quad biking trips around Sarangkot and Lake Phewa.

Paragliding isn't the only way to get to the top. Since 1996, the Avia Club in Pokhara has been offering not only paragliding, like many other agencies, but also unique microlight outings for a closer look at the roof of the world. Pleasure flights for the general public, but also for TV shoots, films, commercials... For the more experienced, you can also take advanced courses in parachuting, skydiving and hang-gliding, all in an exceptional natural setting with experienced professionals.

If you're looking for an amazing experience, Parahawking offers you the chance to fly with birds of prey. It's not just a tandem paragliding flight, it's the unique sensation of flying alongside these large birds that have been taken in and cared for. Accustomed to human presence, they have been trained to fly alongside paragliders. It's also an opportunity to learn more about the lives of local birds of prey, particularly the endangered vultures of Nepal: Parahawking supports the protection program by donating part of its profits.

Sano Babu is a Nepalese adventure sports enthusiast who started out kayaking and rafting on the Sun Kosi River near his mountain village. Exploring the Himalayas and then the world, Babu returned to Nepal to set up his agency in Pokhara and his guest house in Sirkot in the mountains. The team is ultra-professional, especially the paragliding guides who jump in tandem with you and who will put you at ease. The agency also offers multi-day expeditions alternating paragliding, trekking, rafting and kayaking.

Here's a serious address that guarantees maximum safety for thrilling whitewater sports: rafting, kayaking, canyoning and paddling. Nepal offers half-day and full-day trips, as well as beginners' courses and expeditions for the more experienced, lasting up to 10 days. Pokhara's environment lends itself to this, as the trips take place on rivers that run through untouched regions. Meals and nights in tents are provided by the agency.
