Frequently Asked Questions

🪂 Paragliding

Tandem paragliding is where you fly with a licensed, experienced pilot. You sit in a comfortable harness attached to the pilot while they control the glider. No prior experience or training is needed — just sit back, enjoy the views and leave the flying to the expert.
Paragliding takes place at a government-approved site near Junga, Shimla. The take-off point is approximately 9 km from The Glide Inn landing site, accessed by a scenic drive. The entire experience — drive to take-off, flight, and return — takes about 40 minutes total.
Absolutely. We maintain 11 comprehensive safety standards including government approval, licensed commercial tandem pilots, reserve parachutes on all gliders, ₹10 lakh insurance per person per flight, trained marshalls, first-aid kits, rescue teams on standby, and annual equipment inspections. Safety is our top priority.
No. Tandem paragliding requires zero prior experience. You fly with an experienced, licensed pilot who handles all controls. You just need to follow the pilot's simple instructions during take-off and landing.
Wear comfortable two-piece clothing (avoid dresses or sarees) and secure closed-toe shoes (sports shoes or sneakers are ideal). Avoid sandals, heels or loose footwear. We recommend layering as it can be windy at altitude.
Paragliding costs ₹2,850 per person plus 5% GST. Video recording via GoPro costs ₹500 extra — the footage is transferred directly to your phone after the flight.
Minimum age is 12 years. Maximum weight is 98 kg. Guests with serious medical conditions (heart problems, epilepsy, etc.) should consult their doctor before flying.
