Whoa arun bhaiya you paid a lot i did a small course for Rs.3500 lasted 2 days 6 hrs of total fly time, near gujarat forgot name of place :headscratch:
Anyway its lot of fun, did one short assisted flight, controls were mine, it was a lot of fun. One of the experienced pilot took me through two 360 degree loops and you dont want to do that trust me :giggle: .
One solitary flight and I got taken apart by Gusty and the others for not wearing a helmet. Great fun while it lasted and I plan to take it up seriously some day soon.

Even I had a paragliding experience in the Solang Valley near Manali. Paid 2K for a 15 mins flight, of course assisted by a certified pilot. It was a journey from the hill top down to the valley. Really an awesome experience! Though I carried my still camera, yet regret for not carrying a good video cam along with! :banghead:
Here are some photographs taken during the flight :)
Few more snaps!
