From the joy of having wings to adoring the beautiful panoramic views, paragliding is one of the most beautiful adventures that one can experience in their entire life. If you are a travel enthusiast and love to try something new every time you visit a new place, paragliding should be on your list as it is one of the most adventurous sports. Here are the five best paragliding destinations around the world.
Interlaken, Switzerland
Interlaken is the gateway to Switzerland’s famous Jungfrau region. This is one of the most enticing adventure playgrounds, and gliding weightlessly above the 4000 m summits is one of its biggest draws. It consists of straddling glacier-fed lakes and snow-dusted mountains.
Pokhara Valley, Nepal
With the adorable view of the world’s tallest mountains, paragliding in Nepal’s Pokhara Valley is one of the best options. The comparable low altitude gives you the best views of the Annapurna and Himalayan mountain ranges. The take-off spot is the hilly village of Sarangkot.
San Gil of Columbia
The fast flowing rivers, cliff edges and bottomless ravines are what San Gill is all about. Paragliding to the epic Chicamocha Canyon is the main attraction. You can fly up to 1500 m amidst breathtaking scenery.
Oludeniz, Turkey
The beautiful shorelines make the bay of Oludeniz one of the best spots for paragliding in the Mediterranean. The starting point for the whole amazing experience is the top of Mount Babadag. It has white sands that look great with the terrific blue-green hues of the Mediterranean sea.
Valle de Bravo, Mexico
Valle de Bravo is one of the best paragliding spots in Mexico. It is famous for its consistently favourable conditions created by low wind pressure. There are two main locations, La Torre and El Penon. El Penon is the best spot for those who like to fly long distances.
