Exploratory flying in the Himalayas is the ultimate paragliding experience. This type of trip is for expereinced pilots only - you gotta know what you're doing! However the Himalayas is not all gnarly mountain flying - Pokhara in Nepal offers a fantastic learning location with establised launch sites, predictable weather and the best lattes in the Himaalaya!
