Mardi Himal Trek & Paragliding To Pokhara Culinary N Wellness Adventure 10 days
- Family friendly
- Eco Aware
Imagine hiking up to the height of 4,500 meters to Mardi Himal Basecamp and then flying off tandem on a paraglider to Pokhara. We have teamed up with the best paragliding pilots in Nepal to do a unique adventure combination of trekking and paragliding.
The paragliding pilots were named the NatGeo adventurers of the year in 2012. They are Sano Babu Sunuwar and Lakpa Tseri Sherpa. These two Nepali guys climbed Everest, took off on a paraglide from the summit to the Sun Koshi River, and kayaked to the Bay of Bengal, setting a new world record. You will be paragliding with the adventurer legends.
Trekking is a wellness activity as it involves detoxing through perspiration, calming the mind, and eating healthy.
Our trekking chefs use superfood as ingredients to give our trekkers much-needed nourishment after a rigorous day of hiking. Our Wellness meals help to strengthen the immune system.
