Sarangkot's ridge at 09:00. The lake below, Machhapuchhre above, and a wing of nylon that turns air into a road.

Tandem paragliding over Pokhara is the gentlest form of flight there is — no engine, no free fall, just wind and the thermals of the world's most photogenic launch.

LAUNCH

A few running steps off Sarangkot's grass slope, and the wing is up — suddenly you are a bird with an appointment.

DRIFT

The pilot steers thermals upward. Pokhara's lake slides past below; the Annapurna range fills the horizon. Hawks join the thermal at eye level, uninterested in your presence.

LANDING

A slow spiral descent to the lakeshore, feet meeting grass at jogging pace. The world resumes. You keep the sky.
