Tandem Paragliding is the solution for you to get in the air without extensive training. In a tandem paragliding flight, you will experience paragliding and if you desire, you will even learn to steer the paraglider.

In a Tandem Paragliding Lesson, the Instructor flies a glider that is built for 2 and can handle over a 500 lb payload. A brief introduction to the techniques necessary and what not to do is instructed before the flight. This is an experience where the instructor manages the safety and the student gets to experience the amazing sights of soaring in a paraglider first hand.

Tandem gliders are designed to carry the weight of two people. You are seated in a secure harness in front of your instructor and connected to the glider and each other by spreader bars.

This sitting arrangement allows you full unobstructed vision of your flight and under the supervision of your instructor provides you with the opportunity to take the controls and experience the sensation of flying a paraglider. On completion of your flight our approach path to land will take us over Stanwell Park's beautiful beach and then descend over lower sea cliffs to enter a standard circuit with a final approach over the lagoon. Touchdown is on the beach on soft sand and again only requires a few steps to a gentle greeting with the earth again.

Day 1: We leave Munnar after breakfast and reach the location where we get on with Tandem Flying.
