Paragliding in Shimla faqs

Is paragliding is safe sport?

Paragliding is generally considered a safe sport when proper safety measures are followed, such as using certified equipment, flying in suitable weather, and being guided or trained by professionals. However, like any adventure activity, it comes with inherent risks, especially if done recklessly or without preparation.

Is there age limit for paragliding?

Paragliding generally has a minimum age limit of around 6 to 12 years, depending on the operator, with parental consent required for minors. While there is usually no strict upper age limit, participants must be in good health, and older individuals may be asked to provide a medical certificate. In addition to age, most operators enforce weight limits—typically between 30 kg to 100–120 kg—to ensure safety and proper equipment use. Always check with the specific provider for their age and health requirements.

What is the best time for Paragliding in Shimla?

The best time for paragliding is from the month of March to June and from September to November.

What is the average duration of Paragliding?

The average duration of a paragliding flight typically ranges from 15 to 30 minutes, depending on weather conditions, location, and the type of flight. Tandem flights, which are the most common for beginners, usually last around 20–30 minutes. However, experienced pilots can extend their flight by using thermals (rising air currents) to stay aloft for 1 to 2 hours or even longer in ideal conditions. 

Will there be professional guide with paraglider?

Yes, if you're going paragliding with a guide, a professional instructor or pilot will fly with you. They'll control the paraglider while you enjoy the ride. They will also explain everything before the flight and help with takeoff and landing. If you're flying solo, you'll need to have training, but instructors will still be available to assist.
