Paragliding in Pakistan

Overview

Pakistan has breathtaking flying sites in the North of Hunza, Skardu, Snowlake, Baltoro Glacier, Hushe Valley and the Deosai plateau, among many other mountain sides in Pakistan. The extensive mountain ranges of Karakoram, Himalayas and Hindukush provide excellent opportunities for free flying. For experienced pilots who wish to fly from these amazing sites Alpine Adventure Guides can manage complete logistics for the flying expeditions. The long journey will be from Islamabad to the deep in the Karakorum Mountains. Paragliding is the simplest and most pure form of aviation and easiest way to fulfill mankind’s oldest dream. A foot-launched para glider is easy to transport, launch and land: you launch yourself off a gentle slope facing the wind. Just the inflatable wing comes above you, it starts lifting: a few steps and you are airborne and host customized paragliding events also. Throughout the times of man’s flying skills, there has always been a longing desire that the experience of flight should include a measure of personal freedom and independence. After all, we speak of being as free as a bird, not as an airliner. Easily packed and quickly rigged a contrivance which won’t bend or break if one happens to land a bit hard. All these requirements add up to a perfect description of the Paraglider. A Paraglide is very light in weight, being packed in a medium sized rucksack, is inherently stable and relatively inexpensive.
