[@SteFly]

Great video! Would love to make a similar adventure with a sailplane. But I guess the outlanding and launching possibilities are not so good there?

[@christinakolb7971]

In the Garm valley there should be plenty of landing opportunities, but you might have to check out things with the landowners and especially with the local authorities before you take your material there, as the sailplane doesn't go unnoticed. Then again the country is quite small, and with a sailplane you can go so much further than with a paraglider, maybe have a look at some of the bigger places in the vicinity?

It is not just fun, it is an important propaganda for healthy leisure.
Such videos can motivate people to travel, fly and hike instead of just drinking alcohol on the beach during vacation.
Tajikistan is a great place, but it was super-safe to travel when it was part of USSR. Now it is adjacent to Afganistan where Taliban acts, so I think the risk was higher than average. From my point of view, you had to find the guide among local paraglider sportsmen and travel with him. Or at least to had the group with 5-8 people. Sorry for this silly advice, I think you are very experienced tourists, but some others might follow your example.
BTW, do you have a track of your journey?

[@gypaetes2]

yes we agree with what you say, we plan on the spot our itinerary with local guides and we then engaged in our adventure, I would advise everyone to do the same and also follow your advice.

epic. nailing it. keep creating content from your soul.... And one Logistical typical gear question; why was your pod on your pod harness opening? I was just considering getting that harness.

[@GuillaumeBroust]

Hi ! I just forwarded your request to Christina. But maybe contact her through her socials media. Thanks !

[@christinakolb7971]

Hi Aaron, sorry for my late reply and thanks for your comment! I thing the pod was opening slightly because we didn't tighten the strap enough and also because one of the days shown in the video Alain forgot to close the pod buckle. After some adjustments we don't have that problem any more and I can totally recommend the Kolibri for this kind of adventure. Happy and safe flights! ;-)

On the side of the river opposite to Karakendzha there is a dirt road that leads up to the plateau with the lake.

[@christinakolb7971]

Merci beaucoup ;-)

[@sacooper802]

looks like you guys prefer advance brand wings? what brand you recommend for ppg? so many choices out there, hard to decide. i want the safest you can buy, wing collapse proof at its best, if such a thing? love you video, what brand is the best of the best for safe beginner flying?

[@GuillaumeBroust]

the best is to take advices from a paragliding school. It's not the brand but the homolgation (EN-A, EN-B, EN-C...) that makes the wing safe. If you take a wing EN-A, it will be very hard to collapse!!

[@stevieJaxWildlife]

Excellent Vid. Thanks for sharing a different part of the world with us! Paragliding looks awesome, but don't you worry about the chute collapsing or the cables getting tangled? Isn't hand gliding safer? Thoroughly enjoyed your video. Thanks again!

[@GuillaumeBroust]

Haha that's a good point, It's true that collapses are an objective issue, but with skills and experience, you can deal somehow with it. Hanggliding doesn't collapse, but the landing is more complicated (you need a bigger landing field) , and it's way much heavier for a bivy flight!

[@stevieJaxWildlife]

@@GuillaumeBroust Haha. Bivy. I learned a new word! Yes, it's definitely harder to carry around a hang glider on your back. lol. I need to get out more.

[@christinakolb7971]

;-) And the cables are attached at both ends, so they don't tangle as much as they would if one end were lose ;-) I guess it's like learning how to drive a car, just more fun!

[@greghamerton4422]

super video that hints at how tough it really is. 26kg packs? immense! Thanks for sharing your journey. You've got Gopro Hero 4s - get steadyXP to plug into the back. So much of your aerial footage suffers from Warp Stabilizer (added by your editor) instead of what it could have been with an ultralight addon.

[@christinakolb7971]

Thanks for the tip Greg 👍 We'll definitely try that!

[@GuillaumeBroust]

Yeah.... well... if you would have checked the raw footage, dude!.... Non watchable 😉!!!! Definitely need some warp stabilizer, although that makes some weird effects on the shot. I believe that the #7 will fix a bit those stabilisation issues indeed. Anyway thanks for your feedbacks!

[@supergrooover]

Beautiful footage and great vibe. But as a fellow pilot, with no vol biv experience I have a question though: how did you get caught in 4 days of rain? Should have seen the onset of depression even in the most basic forecast right? no reliable forecast for that area?

[@christinakolb7971]

Yes that was basically it - the only provider of a SIM card that we could get as foreigners didn't give us internet coverage for the region we were in, so most of the time we weren't able to check the forecast ... and the few times we could check forecasts they were very basic and not reliable flying-wise.

@@christinakolb7971 thanks for responding! Really great video. I'll include it in my playlist we show our students about the beauty (and downsides hehe) of flying

J'ai bien déliré sur l'usage de la Kolibri, qui penchait à moooooooort en arrière, avec la juppe meme pas fermée -_-

[@GuillaumeBroust]

[@leonardparapente9807]

en mettant les trucs lourds sous les jambes, devant le sac de couchage (a la palce du mousse bag), ca aidait /suffisait pas?

[@gypaetes2]

le truc c'est que pour décoller en sécurité nous ne pouvions pas nous charger derrière les jambes , mais l'idée est Boone avec un system de poulies peu être :o)) mais bon c'était déjà pas mal lourd :o))

[@thomastacke6976]

Great Video! But what realy made me think were the last sentences Alain spoke ... Not as the usual "great thermals, super flights, ..."

[@GuillaumeBroust]

Yes you totally right. That was the biggest part of their adventure I believe. That's what we called the movie "intio the heart of Tajikistan" :-)

[@christinakolb7971]

Absolutely, and he is very right too :-) Thanks!
