Full list of Paragliding schools & courses in India

Paragliding is one of the simplest forms of human flight using an inflatable bow shaped wing made of nylon where human body is hung and supported using Kevlar fibers called raisers, which is then controlled manually to maneuver in air. Unlike balloons, it is a heavier than air flying device and generates lift by the motion of air through its surfaces. Pilot is suspended in air virtually, allowing maximum contact with air and he soars up and down at his wish just like a bird. In average, a paraglider can stay about 2-3 hours in air and can even climb more than 15,000 ft height. Weather is a constraint in flying and that makes paragliding almost impossible during turbulent windy days and during rainy season, especially during June to September in India.

Paragliding requires no fuels and radio aids and so, is one of the cheapest methods of air travel, in the sense. Hence one can experience the taste of flying for a much cheaper price than needed for a full-fledged pilot training course. In India, there are a few paragliding clubs which offer practice and teaching courses of paragliding in various places. In this article, we are familiarizing a few of them.
