In Rishikesh, paragliding is more than actually flying; it’s about enjoying the liberty of the skies and getting a chicken’s-eye attitude of one of India’s most beautiful regions. It’s an exciting experience that lets you waft like a bird over snow-capped peaks, glistening Ganges, and verdant forests. The history of paragliding in Rishikesh began in the early 2000s when adventure tourism began to gain popularity. It has been one of the most famous holiday sports since that time.
