UP ABOVE THE WORLD SO HIGH : MY PARAGLIDING EXPERIENCE

SCARY BUT WORTH IT!

So last year in the month of June I went to Bir Billing with my family to experience the adventure of paragliding. It was one of the best adventure I had.

I still remember that we reached Bir in the morning around half past eleven and it was so cold there, then my father booked the pilots for us who will fly the parachutes and they took around 2 thousand per person.

Till that time we were at ground level only and after the payment was done they drove us at the peak of the bir billing mountain that is at the altitude of 8000 feet from sea level and also Bir-Billing was known for the best spot for Tandem Paragliding sessions in Himachal Pradesh, India.

We reached at the peak in around 30 min and while standing on the cliff and looking around the places, that feeling was so astonishing! 

I wore all the required gears for safety and seating. My seat and the pilot’s seat are connected together with some belts, which also has a reserve parachute for an emergency.My captain handed me the go pro camera from which i was going to record my whole experience. At that time my I was sweating and my heart was pounding but still i was pretending that i am so strong and paragliding is just a cup of tea for me!

Time came and I flew. In starting i was scared but after then i started loving that. I enjoyed my whole flight. My flight was around 20 min and those 20min were the best.
I enjoyed the whole view from the sky.

Finally being in flight for 20 minutes, now was the time to land. I thought landing is a little difficult and was not able to predict how it will be.  But my pilot, the hero of course as we need the climax, just nailed it. Pretty much relevant to say “I came out of it with flying colours”. I took a long breath with happiness after the successful completion of my journey of paragliding.
