Paragliding Experience in Pokhara

Pokhara is a world-renowned paragliding destination. Thanks to the combination of valleys and lakes, the area enjoys stable thermals and updrafts, making it ideal for flying. With over 300 flyable days per year, Pokhara offers some of the best paragliding conditions in the world, attracting countless enthusiasts to experience this exhilarating sport.

Soar through the blue sky and take in the breathtaking panorama of mountain peaks—embark on the paragliding adventure of a lifetime in Pokhara!

As the paraglider’s wing gently unfolds over the valleys of Pokhara, Nepal, you step onto a stage crafted by the sky, forests, and lakes. With a thrilling altitude drop of 2,000 meters, you’ll script your own adventure under the guidance of an experienced paragliding instructor.

Pokhara offers two paragliding options: a 30-minute and a 60-minute flight, allowing you to choose the experience that best suits your preference.

With a running start down a gentle 30-degree slope, you suddenly find yourself soaring into the sky—embracing a breathtaking sense of freedom for both body and soul.

After takeoff, your instructor will guide you along the mountainside, chasing thermal currents to gain altitude. As you ascend higher, the ground drifts further away, bringing you closer to the sky. Once you reach a stable altitude, you can relax and take in the breathtaking scenery while your instructor captures photos and videos of your flight.

Look up, and you’ll see the majestic snow-capped peaks of the Himalayas. Look down, and the vast lake below shimmers with rippling reflections. Look around, and you’ll find fellow paragliders soaring alongside you. ​At this moment, you are at the very center of the world.

Think you’ll just glide peacefully to your landing spot? Your instructor has other plans!

Once you’ve settled into the flight and fully relaxed, it’s time for your instructor to show off some skills! Beyond simple ascents and descents, get ready for an exhilarating high-speed spin that will make your adventure even more unforgettable.

Paragliding will take you soaring freely above the snow-capped peaks, transforming you into the most graceful spirit of the sky—and redefining the meaning of adventure.

China Essence with Natural Wonders Exploration

May 05th, 2026, Couple

We traveled to China during 05th May to 17th May, 2026. Here goes our comment.

Guilin & Yangshuo:

Mr. Tom was an excellent guide in every aspect. He made every experience a great adventure and beyond. With his energy and knowledge, he adjusted the schedule with extra activities such as visiting the pandas, which made it extra special. He is good at explaining everything in a clear and succinct way, since much is guiding us, we loved our time in China and couldn’t have done it without Tom. He is also frequently offering helpful knowledge we very much appreciated. He also took great pictures of us. Mr. Kong, the driver is very courteous & flexible.

Zhangjiajie, Furong & Fenghuang town:

Allen is a capable and smart guide who has an optimistic and patient personality. We feel fortunate to have her. She is very good at arranging the schedule and navigating the towns’ sights in an efficient manner. We appreciate her help to negotiate with the photographer and provide us good seats and advice. The driver Mr. Lee is a safe & excellent driver who is courteous to us, other drivers and pedestrians. We thoroughly enjoyed our time in the Zhengzhou area. The hotel was excellent!

Beijing:

Ray Liu is a very knowledgeable and smart guide with excellent English. We learned a lot from him about Chinese history, culture, and current life. He is on time and capable. He shared with us a lot of interesting facts and information, and it was easy to talk to him because he is friendly, talkative and has fluent English. Ray knows his way around & got us everywhere, and it was nice there was a charge port in the back. He can be more courteous to bikers & pedestrians, but we got everywhere safely.

This is the second time we plan a trip with Best Asia Tours and we love their service and attention to detail as well as their willingness to make your trip memorable and anything you want possible. Their planning is impecable and very efficient and if anything is not as you expected they will work to make sure it is. we did a 21 day itinerary for 7 including 2 grandmas back on 2018 and we just went back a couple of weeks ago with our daughter for 12 days and had an awesome time. We are already planning the next one. Zoe and Eric who had help us with the travel planning were both amazing their speed to comeback with the itineraries and changes is impressive and not matter how many times you ask them to look at changes or different hotels etc they are always willing to help with the most wonderful attitude . All the guides we had on the different cities and regions have be incredible . I can not recommend them enough. I have traveled al over the world and they are definitively on the top service of the agencies I had used.

Classic Japan Tour, Tokyo, Mt.Fuji, Osaka, Kyoto

Aug 2025

Best Asia Tours did a really good job planning our itinerary in Japan. Some times we had issues coming up I think mostly related to cultural differences, but our agent was amazing and went above and beyond the call of duty to make sure we were comfortable and the trip was perfect. The hotels are centrally located, very easy to access to the city center. The guide and driver are friendly and nice. We spend a pleasant and amazing journey there.
