The New "Must Do" Activity

Exclusive to Frontiers Adventures

Parahawking is the art of training birds of prey to fly with Paragliders, it was developed and pioneered in 2001 here in Pokhara by Scott Mason and the Frontiers Adventures team. By combining Paragliding with the ancient art of Falconry, we are able to train birds of prey to fly with us, guide us to thermals and even perform aerobatic manoeuvres.

The ultimate way to interact with birds of prey in their own environment and the ultimate Paragliding adventure.

Parahawking

Parahawking tandem flight: - €120

The Parahawking Tandem flight is quickly becomming the new "must do" activity in Nepal. Parahawking is the art of training bids of prey to fly with paragliders; it was developed and pioneered in 2001 in Pokhara by our team of experts. By combining paragliding with the ancient art of falconry, we have trained birds of prey to fly with us, guide us to thermals and even perform aerobatic manoeuvres! Now you too can experience parahawking by taking a tandem flight with one of our trained birds. Marvel as the bird guides us through the skies and then call him to land on your gloved hand as we fly. We'll even film the whole flight from our on-board cameras. A totally unique and unforgettable experience – sure to be the highlight of your trip to the beautiful Pokhara valley!

Sky Safari: - €300(includes lunch)

Spend an entire day flying with birds of prey. A Sky Safari involves 3 very different Parahawking tandem flights with 3 of our birds. The morning flight will be with Brad, our energetic little male Black Kite. He will tie us up in knots as we chase him around the sky while the sun rises over the Himalayas. The second flight will be with Kevin, our cross country hero. Kevin will guide us to the best thermals and take us on a Parahawking adventure like you would never imagine. And lastly, the third and final flight of the day will be with Bob, our young Egyptian vulture. We will soar together over the calm waters of Lake Phewa as the sun drops behind the mountains. Then we land right outside Maya Devi, the home and birth place of Parahawking.

The parahawking solo experience (for pilots only): - €200

As paraglider pilots, we are constantly searching for signs of lift which will enable us to stay up and keep flying. Quite often that sign will come in the form of a wild bird, an Eagle or Vulture, effortlessly soaring and climbing in a thermal. Now you can take one of our trained birds for a solo flight and allow him to guide you to the thermals. Spend a day in the hands of our experts learning and experiencing Parahawking. In the morning you will handle and become acquainted with our birds, then take a tandem flight with our instructor so you are familiar with the Parahawking procedures. In the afternoon you are ready to fly solo with only the bird as your guide. Another world first from the Parahawking pioneers and only available here in Nepal!

This experience is only available to licensed paraglider pilots.
