About this experience

Naukuchiatal, the lake of nine corners, sits a few kilometres beyond Bhimtal in the Kumaon lake country. It is quieter and greener than Nainital, and the ridge above it is one of the best places in Uttarakhand for a first paragliding flight.

Before you go

Good to know

  1. 01

    Flights depend entirely on the wind and weather — your pilot decides when it is safe to fly.

  2. 02

    Mornings usually have the steadiest conditions. We build in some flexibility on the day.

  3. 03

    There is a weight limit for tandem flights, usually around 100 kg — we confirm it when you book.

  4. 04

    Paragliding pauses during the monsoon, roughly July to September.

  5. 05

    Stay at Har Shikhar in Bhimtal or by the lakes in Nainital to make a weekend of it.
