A significant surge has been witnessed in tourist footfalls after local authorities promoted this adventure sport on a larger scale. A foreign tourist, Mark, said he did not have
words to express the amazing experience of paragliding below the Himalayas . "We
knew about paragliding back in Montréal. It was exciting. We wanted to try for
sure in the Himalayas , so we did. We took a jump and it was crazy. I just cannot
describe the feeling while you are standing there and it is crazy. You should
try it," he said on Sunday. Adventure-loving youth too have been overwhelmed by
the experience. Roop Singh, a trainer, said that even bad wind conditions have
not deterred tourists from doing paragliding. "There are around 150 trainers and
there is enough rush here. This season, we are doing paragliding in intervals
as wind condition is not favourable but there is large tourist influx. This time
tourists are waiting for paragliding," said Singh. During paragliding one gets
an opportunity to see breathtaking aerial view of the town and the surrounding
snowcapped Himalayan mountains.
