Currently, parahawking in Pokhara is undoubtedly the must-to-do activity and an unforgettable joyride. Never before has an outdoor activity brought so close a human to such a magnificent bird. In Pokhara, since 2001, special trained birds of pray, usually falcons and Egyptian vultures, are the guides of paragliding flights!
These trained vultures are the guides and the probes for the best thermal currents, assisting the pilot to enjoy the best possible flight. By soaring around the pilot, the bird will guide you and join you in an unforgettable experience!
During the flight the bird will sit on your hand several times to enjoy its meal, fairly earned.
Don’t miss the opportunity to experience this unique feeling!

It conveniently ends at our tented river side camp, Gurung Valley. Why not extend your trip and enjoy a night at our 1 million star hotel and soak up as much river life as you can! Get off the bus and on the river!
