$30 Paragliding in Pokhara, Nepal 🇳🇵
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 15 ก.ค. 2024
- I used the new cable car in Pokhara to make my way to Sarangkot. Sarangkot is a very popular hill station, a beautiful village, high up in the hills that overlook the Pokhara valley.
The 'Annapurna Cable Car' has only been operational since earlier this year and comes from a Japan company. It's very new and modern, although there's no AC. The journey cost 1,000 rupees ($8 USD) for a return ticket. That's the foreigner price. Nepalis ride for 700 and Indians for 800 rupees.
Since summer is not a popular time of year for tourists, because of the heat and rain, I was the only passenger there and got a whole cabin to myself. I settled in, ready to enjoy some stunning views but the sun immediately disappeared behind a dark cloud.
A few minutes into the journey and the heavens opened up. A huge thunderstorm.
When I got to Sarangkot I tried to wait it out, hoping the weather would clear up, but it never did. I wasn't prepared for rain, with no raincoat or umbrella. Even if I was prepared it wouldn't have been much fun to walk around the village in that weather.
I abandoned the adventure and took the cable car back down into Pokhara. Thankfully I did that because the thunderstorm continued through the night.
The next day I tried again. This time heading up a bit earlier. It seems to rain every day in Pokhara but usually it's in the late afternoon. Thankfully the weather was glorious and the views from the cable car going up were stunning.
I saw many people paragliding around the valley. It looked like so much fun and something I'd want to do.
After having a good explore around the village, and reaching the viewpoint for the best panoramic view of Pokhara, I went in search of the paragliders. I could see from the viewpoint the slope where they were all taking off from, so I headed down to there.
Fortunately there was a pilot available to take me immediately. The cost was 3,500 rupees ($28 USD), which is really good value for such an activity. I had just asked a guesthouse owner how much it would cost and he said he could book it for me for about 6,500 rupees. So by turning up to the paragliding "airport" myself and cutting out any agent I got it for half the price.
The cost to use one of their GoPro cameras was 1,500 rupees but since I brought my own I didn't have to pay that. They were good enough to let me borrow the stick from their GoPro that could be hooked up to my harness, so I couldn't drop it.
Taking off was a little bit scary but once in the air it was a very relaxing adventure. My pilot, Nitesh, has paraglided thousands of times so I was in safe hands.
He said they also have a paragliding school, so that anyone who wants to spend a couple of weeks learning can do so and obtain a license to fly solo.
It was a fun adventure and I got back to the lakeside in time to enjoy a sunset stroll, with fresh fruit juice and kulfi from the local vendors.

Hello dale!
30:03 The cool pilot is enojoying every second of his job. He is so serious in navigating the parachute, at the same time he is carefully listening and replying to Dale as well. He is probably the happiest and coolest person without any stress and fear in life. God bless this awesome Pilot. Thank you Dale for the excellent vlog.

Yeah ...🥺 beautiful country Nepal ❤️🤝🤝
The pilot and Dale singing together is probably the most wholesome thing I've seen in a while, the pilot seemed like he was genuinely happy too, this was amazing 😭
😭😭😭😭😆😆😆
I have never seen somebody enjoying his work this much, the pilot seems real happy man
that pilot was. figuratively and literally, high as a kite
Paragliding pilot was a legend! You two singing together was hilarious 🤣💯
Love to see my native place Sarangkot ❤️❤️
pilot is very honest. He said he is not the best, but a good one. you can't be more honest than that
Watching you take off on the Paragliding gave me PTSD from when I fell down a cliff doing it in Lebanon lol 😂 I know the exact feeling of relief when you finally got in the air.
I scraped my legs a little bit. I also had flashbacks to watching your video. 😆
Love Your Videos Mate So Genuine And Kind Keep It Up
@Green Dude Well you would be able to see Himalayan mountains only on winter though, Summer is too humid and clouds block mountains , In summer time you can see mountain only for few hours in Morning time
@travel with luke damant like to see your videos on Nepal🙃😁
There were *69* likes on your comment and i liked your comment to make it not sus......and I love your videos ❤️
the pilot was very nice and made the tourists happy and like him has no problem nice work brother🙏🙏
that pilot is an introvert’s nightmare, but damn he’s good at what he does
@@vintovkadragunova4268 so you an introvert haha
@@raiswarnim9431no, i’d sing during the whole flight with him lol
@@vintovkadragunova4268 i love you
Best pilot ever
I like how the pilot was replying really seriously to Dale, and all of a sudden when Dale says 'that's the cable car I came with' the pilot goes 'yeeahhh you came with cable caaaarrrr' all excited😂
What a legendary guy, one second he's singing crazy, then he's explaining some serious stuff
Thank you so much for promoting Nepal.huge respect and love you dale philip ❤️🙏🇳🇵Thank you for visit Nepal and enjoy with nature.... ❤️🙏🇳🇵
That pilot is cool and honest, he didn't say his company was the best!
However, if he landed at your hotel, we can give him full points 10/10!
You did a really great job, thanks for sharing！👍😄👏
Yes they drop him to his hotel too
@@kshitizlama630 No, sorry, I mean landed down at the hotel, not drove to the hotel!
In the video 38'43" he said they landed in the valley on the other side of the lake and they drove him to the hotel by SUV!
After drop by suv 🤣
Yeah landing at the hotel with broken legs😂
@@Rahul-Naik You should see them land well and you should have more confidence in him! 👍😃👌
You cant beat that mans energy, so positive and even singing just awsome guide.
Hats off to the pilot for his first flight again..
So enthusiastic and happy he truly made dale’s flight memorable.
The way you guys enjoying paragliding…got me goosebumps 🥰😍
When I went to Scotland, I found people really humble and helpful.
I hope you got similar vibes in Nepal.
Is going Scotland expensive.... I have a dream to go there
I love the practical "can do" attitude of the paragliding guys. No nonsense, just pay, simple instructions and go. And you cant beat the security of a guy who literally did it a 1000 times before.
A great and fun paragliding experience. Hope your channel develops more to let people know more about the countries you come and will go to. Love from Vietnam.
We nepalese people are so much happy that you are enjoying the beautiful scenery of Nepal and you are advertising the video of nepal to different part of the country. We wish for your good as well as bright future love you Dale 💕
You can come to Kushma, a town about 50KM away from Pokhara. The roads to Kushma are in good condition, it will take only 1 hour drive in bus/jeep/taxi to Kushma where you can experience World's 2nd Highest Bunjee Jump/ World's highest Swing and Worlds longest Jeepline over Kaligandaki River. It is an adrenaline rush adventure.
No good hotels and restaurants and roads are bad brother. We got in trouble and will never return
@@arjunkc3227 you will get what u pay for brother!!
The pilot is a gem of a person, such a energy and cautious at the same time.
Yeah, yeah yeah...wooooooo, yeah...woooo
Dale mate as you realized paragliding is amazing and regretted not being able to do it in other countries, I would highly recommend you try bungee jumping in Nepal it is one of the best in the world and would make your Nepal visit absolutely memorable!! Would make a great video too:)
What an absolutely smashing vlog this was ...the paragliding part was brilliant.
I felt I was also doing this .
..i once had a very bizzare dream that I was floating on top of treetops for a long time moving ahead with the wind...perhaps in a parallel universe I've done paragliding? Who knows ! Motivated to visit pokhara and jump off a cliff ..yohoo
The parra glider instructor was so normal on the ground. As soon as he got into the air he turned into a loon. Love it!
I was always wondering about Nepal. Your video is very kindly and amazing... The rain seen from the cable car is so charming🌧 And I tried paragliding in Turkey. Now there are only two places left: Nepal and Switzerland.
Thank you for show me Nepal🙏😀
Visit Nepal 🇳🇵
Warm welcome in Nepal 🇳🇵✈️
Welcome to Nepal 💙❤
Maybe I can go in a few years. thank you😀
Please welcome to Nepal 🇳🇵🇳🇵
Dont forget to go to Pokhara rather than Kathmandu.
Thank you Dale for another amazing adventure, that Paragliding pilot was really fantastic.. keep it up, we are waiting for your next video... :D

The pilot was so happy. It felt like Dale was the experienced one and the other guy was flying for first time lol
"Every Flight is a New Flight" - Nitesh 2022, he better trademark that quote.
the pilot seems to be enjoying more than the passenger there😅 he does love his job
I'm from Nepal (Pokhara) and currently studying in the UK and I'm missing this place so much, thanks for exploring and showing in the camera.
UK u mean UttaraKhand

Probably You had a fun while paragliding with that pilot and you were clearly observing the one beauty part of Nepal
Love you Dale ❤️❤️
Can you help me please to grow my id

Yeah sure bro
I am so happy that dale is here in nepal. I hope you liked our country. Wishing you smooth stay here in our country. You are directly helping everyone of us by promoting tourism in nepal. May god bless you bro…
Another excellent video by Dale. Love watching these
Dale , I was very excited to see you while doing the Paragliding , it's been a wonderful journey .. love from India
Thank you dale for taking us on your adventure! Greetings from Holland!🇳🇱
💞💞
Paragliding looks fun and an enjoyable experience. Hopefully I'll get to do it one day. Nepal has some scenic panoramic views. Good video as always, scotsman.
the best part about dale's vid is that it makes you feel like you're travelling with him. should get a VR version where we can go 360!
Thank you for promoting our country!!we always love you brother !
That pilot seemed to be enjoying the ride as much as you with his hoots and singing. Or maybe that was his way of hyping you up. Dale, you're getting recognized more frequently by your fans with each video. I don't know if more Nepalese have watched you than the rest but it seems like a lot in the last few videos. You're very cordial when someone speaks to you. It's bound to increase to an annoyingly high level where you can barely create uninterrupted content. Glad that you have remained friendly.
Tourist feels so happy and love our country so proud 🇳🇵🇳🇵🇳🇵
Wow that is amazing! Fairplay to you Dale for doing that!!
Loving the Nepal series Dale, keep up the awesome blogs, may the coke zero gods be with you.

My heart skipped a beat at the time of take-off. I would one day like to experience paragliding. Looks scary, but you experience beauty only when we overcome fear. Great vlog, brother. Loved it.
His knees brushed some flowers lol
looks so exciting!!
I have came across some ParaGliders in Geelong, Australia last year when i visited my friends there. It's really awesome to watch. The people are very friendly there.
Grand views of Pokhara's beauty while paragliding! Also what a peaceful place up in those villages.
Love your videos Dale. The way you instantly connect with people is amazing.
Love the paragliding, fantastic Dale, the views absolutely breathtaking
Can’t wait to see more videos of Pokhara
It’s a beautiful city and my hometown
Love seeing you grow and getting the recognition you deserve
Sorry the weather ruined your first day but it must have been awesome to experience the storm inside the cable car, as well as the observation tower!
Btw if you didn't know, Pokhara is in the list of top 3 places to paraglide in the entire world along with Interlaken, Switzerland and Oludeniz, Turkey.
The pilot is an energetic and entertaining . He makes tourists happy. Good keep it up.
The scenery is wonderful it's nice that dale shows almost every detail when he's going to the location where his going nice vid man love it

Dear Scott men, I was waiting desperately for your vlog on Nepal. Here it came today. Today's vlog was the mind-blowing. The beautiful cable car journey just touch my mind. And the most awesome part is paragliding. It was so much fun to watch you paragliding, I wonder how much it would be if I was there myself. The paragliding pilot was very nice and amazing guy. I am waiting for the next vlog bro. Lot's of love from Kolkata, India.
@family guy episodes thanks for the information
You've got the perfect paragliding pilot. I think we should learn from him, though he's flying since couple of years but yet he's so excited as if he's flying for the first time 😀. Absolute fun.
I suppose , dale you are superb thanks for exploring the beautiful Pokhara Nepal 🇳🇵
Now, I regret not paragliding although I have been to Pokhara lots of time every year. Thank you Dale for this wonderful adventure. 😍
Big fan dai 😄❤️❤️
What amazing views Dale whilst paragliding……Your persistence with the weather paid off…..The blue helmet for the Scotsman🏴
You taking off was the most gripping thing I’ve seen in a while. I’m scared of heights, but watching you do it has shown me it’s completely chilled. Amazing views and quality video brother! Par from the UK
Awesome paragliding!! Felt like i am the one who is flying!! Thanks dale for this video.
Love your longer videos dale! Keep it going mate.”
Brilliant! Just brilliant ! I too have noticed the offers of paragliding when travelling, but never considered this due to imagined catastrophes! But your instructor was very competent, so heck yes! The views shown were perfect! Well done 👏
I woke up early and saw Dale had uploaded new video. It's going to be a great day!!! Thank you for taking us along on your adventures!!! 😃😃😃
Well done Dale, you have balls, and well done you both for the singing👏👏👏
Enjoyed watching you dale. And thanks for visiting Nepal.
Great video, I like the spontaneous way you managed to book yourself a paragliding flight and the pilot just happened to be radiantly fun guy to be with but he was obviously very experienced paraglider too….if you’re putting your life in his hands. Like his honesty when he didn’t try to say that they’re the best but good enough. I hope your vlog will encourage most tourists visiting Pokhara both local and from abroad to give this scenic paragliding a try. I will def try the cable car ride next time I’m in Pokhara, thanks to Japan for helping to set this up.
Whenever you upload I just rush to watch your video anyway the Nepal series is getting into shape ✌️🔥 you should be doing some fellow treks to know the country better 👌
Wow looks amazing when you are going down!!!!!
One of the best country in the world!!!!
Love from Nepal brother♥️🇳🇵Thanks for visit our country.I hope you got more enjoyed from paragliding nd beautiful nature nd nepalese brotherhood.Please don't forget our country.Come to our country nd visit every famous place in Nepal.Nepal is one oldest country in south Asia.You can feel heaven in our country.Once again more Thank you very much for helping to bring the beauty of our Nepal to the world through your social network.♥️♥️♥️🙏

Why do I see myself traveling like Dale in a few years. You rock mate
to me it seems boring and dangerous and not enjoyable. I enjoy it in these videos but not in real life
@@dannymullentroll6701 Danny, you got to experience in real life to say if it is actually boring or not. This videos are just a glimpse from an individual's perspective. I'm glad that you enjoy these type of videos and I'm sure you will love it when you experience in real life.
@@dannymullentroll6701 we can't judge anything until we try
@@dannymullentroll6701 to each thier own
Glad that you're chilling in Pokhara . Much love brother . Thankful for promoting and exploring nepali tourism.
