DESCRIPTION

I have never seen others flying this site however I have had 4 wonderful flights here with big smooth thermals that will give you enough height to get a great view of the Himalayas. Unfortunately there is often an inversion layer about 400m above take off. Try not to hurt yourself as rescue in India is pretty much non existent. From take off you need to cover about 1km of low gradient decline before the valley drops away properly. If you realize you are not going to make it to the valley proper then back out and land on a rice field and walk back to take off. There are no roads down to the landing. The wind blows hard until about 11am most mornings but then calms down through the afternoon for great flying.

ACTIVITIES

- paragliding
- thermals
- xc

weather

During Monsoon clouds can build up very quickly. be careful of this.

access

Take a taxi for about Rs 600 up to the Kunjapuri temple +45 minutes. On the last bend before the temple you can take off on the small shoulder, or walk down to the left a little and take off on a fairly steep hill. There is no indication that it is the take off and I think very few people have flown this site. Be careful the take off can be tricky and you need to reverse launch.

regulation

Non existent in India
