Meanwhile, you can capture the moment with GoPro footage or simply soak in the sights — this Pokhara paragliding adventure promises to be a highlight of your trip.

Best Time for Paragliding in Pokhara

The best time for paragliding in Pokhara is autumn (September to November) and spring (March to May), when skies are clear and winds are stable. Flights are also possible in winter, though views can be softer on cloudy days. During the monsoon season (June to August),rain often delays or cancels flights due to rain — so it’s best to avoid planning your trip around this period.

What Your Paragliding in Pokhara Package Includes

In addition to your flight, the operator also provides:

• Hotel pick-up and drop-off

• GoPro photos and videos of your tandem flight

• All government and local taxes

• Expert pilot and full safety gear for your guided paragliding in Pokhara

Note: Pick-up and drop-off is only available for guests staying in the lakeside area. If you’re staying elsewhere, you’ll need to make your own way to the operator’s main office for the activity.

What to Bring

When you fly with pilot in Pokhara, comfort matters as much as safety. Comfortable closed-toe shoes are best for take-off and landing. Since it can be windy and cool at altitude, we also recommend bringing a light jacket or extra layer. Sunglasses will help against the glare, and a small bag for your phone or camera is handy too — your pilot will help you secure anything loose before takeoff.

Flight Cancellation Policy

If you need to cancel, a 50% cancellation fee applies for cancellations made 24 hours or more before your scheduled departure time. We can’t offer a refund for cancellations made just before the flight, or once the flight has already commenced. If the operator cancels your flight due to weather or technical reasons, you’ll receive a full refund or the option to reschedule at no extra cost. If you have any questions about the paragliding in Pokhara price or the booking process, feel free to reach out before you book.

I had such a great and educational experience with Thupten Gyatso, my guide from Tibet. He took me to different settlements, introduced me to monks, showed me how the Tibetan carpets are made, and even got me a consultation with a Tibetan medical provider. I’m so much more knowledgeable now regarding the history and culture of Tibet! This was one of my favorite experiences in Nepal!

I had the most amazing experience with Tibetan Encounter last April. I wanted to book a tour lastminute, and even though I was the only guest for that time slot, they arranged the tour for me. Thupten showed me around Tibetan monastries and villages, and told me so much about the Tibetan communities in Nepal that it dazzled me. He was very honest and straightforward, and I found his view on Buddhism very interesting. Also, it was an amazing experience to be able to talk to a buddhist monk, and try all kinds of Tibetan food. Highly recommended!

Authentic and enriching!
​Had a fantastic afternoon with The Tibetan Encounter Day Tours. Witnessing the Buddhist monastery prayers was a powerful, unforgettable moment, and sharing authentic Tibetan food was the perfect way to wrap up the experience. Great pacing, incredible insights, and warm hospitality throughout. Worth every minute!

I did the “Morning Tour” which ment I got the full experience visiting two Tibetan villages. The guide was very knowledgeable and explained each stop in detail. Visiting the locations alone or with a large tour group would definitely not provide the full experience. On the day my tour was the Tibetan doctor was unable to reach Pokhara due to travel disruption. However the guide himself was able to explain the topic himself and answer all our questions so I didn’t feel as if I missed anything. He also invited the members of the tour group who were available to come back the next day to meet the doctor.

I did the full day tour in September this year. Mr Thupten is fully engaged with us on the tour. He asks that we hear him as he talks Of Tibetans that had to Leave Tibet, and of their lives now in Nepal. And that we put together Our own understanding of the situation. Office staff Samita and Alice got back to me promptly with questions I had.
