About Sunrise Paragliding
Sunrise Paragliding is one of the longest-running tandem paragliding operators in Pokhara, flying from the Sarangkot ridge above Phewa Lake since 1996. With nearly three decades in the air over the Annapurna foothills, it bills itself as the most experienced paragliding company in Nepal, and its pilots carry deep knowledge of the valley's thermals, launch sites and seasonal flying windows.
The core offering is the tandem flight, where a passenger is harnessed to a professional pilot for the whole experience. Guests can choose a short "Cloud Buster" hop, a longer cross-country flight that rides the ridge thermals for extended airtime, or a hike-and-fly combination that pairs a short walk with a launch. Flights depart in scheduled morning and midday slots and take in sweeping views of Phewa Lake, Pokhara city and the Himalayan skyline including Machhapuchhre (Fishtail).
What sets Sunrise apart is its longevity and safety record in a crowded Pokhara market. The team flies with internationally rated pilots and modern equipment, and its long presence at Sarangkot means it knows exactly when conditions are best for a smooth, scenic flight rather than a rushed one. It remains a go-to name for first-time flyers and returning pilots alike.
