Our team is our strength. It’s young, energetic and passionate. Young not only in
age but in their attitude to keep learning. Energetic not only in strength but also
in their desire to be the best. Passionate because they all come from surrounding
villages and towns, and for them their land, their mountains are their backyard....they
want nothing more than to be able to fly over these beautiful landscapes.
Our team yearns for our pilots to fly higher, farther and safer...
They are true sportsmen – patient yet know when to give a push, kind but yet know
when to be firm, lots of fun but super serious at work...from playing cricket at
the landing sites after flying or taking care of elderly flying enthusiasts to fulfil
their lifelong dream to fly – they are up for any challenge with honest hearts and
a smile that shines through all fear & doubt.

Young and handsome, this promising pilot is maturing into a fine Instructor. He

teammates. He is stylish, charming and a very kind soul.
One can see his potential as a pilot when he is working in a thermal. He is pretty
excited about his Tandem flying career and is looking forward to flying a lot. He
is on his way to becoming a true blue cool Paragliding Instructor. Most of all he
