Paragliding SIV course in Pokhara, Nepal 2013

Our team traveled to Nepal last December, to enhance the flying skills, our pilot Li Ming Song took a SIV course and validate his advanced pilot by APPI.

We arrived at Pokhara on 20 December, and explored the beautiful flying site in Sarangkok (1500m) and landing in Phewa Lake of Pokhara (800m).

The SIV course started on Jan 4, the 3-day course aims at enhance pilot's control, safety and performance, and how to master pilot's glider in all configurations. The exercises include roll, pitch, pendular turns, collapse, fast descent techniques, spiral, full stall, spin, acro basics, reserve development, etc.

The course is offered by APPI, it is a pioneering International Paragliding organization.
It provides professional international standard of paragliding education system, and above all, advocating fly safely.

We learnt lots from course and throughout the trip, the people we met, the cultures and food were also very impressing.

Surely, we will be back to Nepal and Pokhara once again very soon!
