Tips & Tricks from Real Parents

1

Leave your hotel at 5 AM — the 30-minute drive plus 15-minute hike gets you there for golden hour.

2

Book paragliding in advance (4,000-6,000 NPR) and request a gentle flight if flying with kids aged 5-8.

3

Bring warm jackets even in summer — summit temperatures are 10 degrees C cooler than Pokhara valley.

4

Skip the cable car (closed frequently) and hire a private taxi for 2,000 NPR round trip.

5

Let kids bring a small camera — the aerial views of Phewa Lake are unforgettable.

A Real Parent's Story

My 7-year-old flew before I did

She looked at the valley below, said 'I'm not scared, daddy,' and ran off the cliff with her tandem partner. I cried. She loved it.

Read full story

I've always been terrified of heights. But my daughter wanted to paraglide in Pokhara more than anything. We watched the sunrise, and she kept tugging my sleeve. Finally, the tandem pilot said they'd take good care of her. She hugged me, ran to the edge, and jumped off without a second's hesitation. I stood there, heart pounding, watching her float over the valley, laughing. She landed and said 'Can we go again?' I had to sit down.
