Every time I saw a plane, I thought it’s the only way to experience
the excitement of being so up in the air and actually flying! But after I
learnt about paragliding, I was proved wrong. It is an adventure sport, in which
the participant sits in a harness which is connected with wing shaped fabric
through suspension lines for support. A true flying experience where one feels like
they are actually flying like a bird!
The most fascinating fact is that there is no engine attached
to this equipment and only through the aerodynamics of the air the participant
can fly for several hours!
Easy portability of the equipment is one of the biggest plus
points of this sport.
For those who feel it is a very tuff and not for them, 365hops
ask them to think again! 365hops is a company that not only brings all sport
lovers together but also organises outdoor camps and training in various
destinations. They clarify that;
a)
The sport is very easy to learn.
b)
One does not require too much of body strength, just the
ability to jog/run or walk up the hill will do.
c)
It just requires as much skill as one learns to drive or ride.
d)
The only thing one has to be careful about is that they have
to be mentally very present and alert and physically prepared.
e)
Also one should listen very carefully to the instructions
given during training.
So in the recent
decade, more and more people are trying to indulge in this sport. Paragliding
in India is most popular in Gujarat while Maharashtra, Himalayas, Nepal and
Tamil Nadu are also promising places.
So what are you waiting
for, get in touch with 365hops and you can either follow the sport or join them
for an event and off you go flying
