Chitwan, April 14
Commercial paragliding flights have started in Chitwan today. Paragliding started from Chaukidanda on Friday.
Shalik Dawadi, director at Himalayan Frontiers Paragliding Company, which started the commercial flight of paragliding for the first time in Chitwan, informed that the flight was started on the occasion of the first day of the Nepali new year.
“The official inauguration will take place later but flights have started to take off from today,” he said.
Paragliding will take off from Chaukidanda in Chitwan and land on the bank of the Trishuli river in Devghat rural municipality of Tanahun.
Dawadi said that the price of paragliding from Chaukidanda was Rs 8,000 but as a promotional offer, they were only charging Rs 6,000 for now.
Dawadi informed preparations have been made so that up to 45 people can fly daily.
Nepal’s tourism capital Pokhara has long been considered the most attractive paragliding destination in Nepal, but a new international airport built there has virtually closed the activity there.
Now Chitwan aspires to replace Pokhara as Nepal’s most favoured paragliding destination.
