Paragliding at Solang Valley:-

Paragliding in Solang Valley, Manali can make up for a nerve-racking adventurous experience. But what really is paragliding? Paragliding is a sport in which people fly parachutes that have been modified to improve their gliding skills. Unlike their close relatives, hang gliders, paragliders have no rigid framework; the parachute canopy serves as a wing and is made up of fabric cells with openings in the front that enable them to be inflated by air movement.

Solang valley Paragliding, just like the most popular form of paragliding sport in other cities and towns, follows a simple process that is both safe and exhilarating at the same time. The pilot is seated in a brace and controls the wing with lines attached to the paraglider’s trailing edge. These lines may be operated individually to turn the paraglider or simultaneously to influence pitch and speed. The take-off and landing are normally done on foot and take place on a hill or mountain. To take off, the pilot inflates the wing by pulling it up like a kite, then sprints down the runway. Paragliders use the same lifting air (thermals) as other gliding aircraft, but their slow speed prevents them from flying in strong winds.
