How it Feels to Fly in Darjeeling??? Paragliding In Darjeeling Who doesn’t want to fly? (Barring the acro phobic) Ever since our childhood we have been hearing about magic carpets, fairies and a gamut of other flying objects. But to our disappointment this blissful ignorance shatters bringing us face to face with a reality where these worlds fail to exist. But thanks to the modern technology and a group of adrenaline enthusiasts we now have paragliding which gives an ecstatic flying experience. One of the firsts to offer such a sport in the North Eastern region of the nation paragliding in Darjeeling is the ultimate experience where fun and learning materializes as one. Not only does one acquire the knowledge but also gets to live the experience of a lifetime-flying and soaring high with the majestic Kanchenjunga as the backdrop, and the folds and creases of blue-green hills at your feet with celestial white river slithering between them and exchanging glances with unique Himalayan birds.
