Paragliding in the Himalayas. A dream comes true 😊😊

Manali is well known for its wondrous adventure sports and paragliding tops the list.

My partner and I jumped at the very idea of soaring in the skies that we booked two rides even without giving it a second thought. The moment our flight gear was strapped onto us, we felt the adrenaline rush!!! We could feel the blood pumping as we started our run towards the edge of the mountain. And whoooosh !!! Suddenly we are in the air 😮😮 The cool mountain air caught us off guard as the pilot (the person who navigates the glider) steered us to get a better view of the River Beas.

The view was breathtaking. Everything looked so small and tiny. The river looked like a big snake meandering through the valley. The trees and houses stands steady and small as we soaked in the beautiful landscape from above. We were in the air for around 15 mins when the pilot started our descent.

After around 5 to 7 minutes we landed. Thus with our landing, came an end to our first adventure in the skies. Manali gave me lot of memories and this is one of them. Manali, we are going back to you ❤️
