Overview
Our tandem paragliding service for flyers aged 50 years and above. The flight experience is designed for comfort and safety. We attend to specific details – like selecting a suitable glider, choosing a veteran pilot with 10+ years of flight experience, modifying the flight briefing, focussing on an easy take-off and smooth landing. The flight begins at Billing take-off site. You’ll enjoy magnificent views of the mountains, Billing forest and Bir valley as we gradually descend. The flight completes with a soft landing at Bir landing site.
Your journey starts with a convenient pickup from your hotel or a pre-arranged departure point. Enjoy your ride on to Billing take-off site located at 2500m. The journey takes about 45 mins. Once you arrive, you are fitted with a safety harness and helmet. Your pilot will brief you on the take-off and safety instructions. Listen to the instructions carefully. Your pilot is a highly trained and experienced paraglider.
Strapped-in with your pilot, you jog down a gentle slope and are lifted up with the incoming wind! And just like that you are airborne. Relish the feeling of weightlessness as you glide over the Billing forest and gaze at the mighty Dhauladhar mountains. Sit back, relax, and enjoy your flight.
As you approach the landing site, the pilot will ask you to keep the legs raised for a smooth landing. Once the flight ends, the pilot will transfer all the GoPro photos & videos taken by you, directly to your mobile phone. With transfer to take-off site & the flight time, the total time taken is about 1.5 hrs.
