Parahawking In Nepal - Attractions Of Nepal !

Parahawking is a unique activity combining paragliding with elements of falconry.
Birds of prey are trained to fly with paragliders, guiding them to thermals for in-flight rewards and performing areobatic manoeuvres.


Parahawking was developed by British falconer scott Mason in 2001. Mason began a round-the-world trip in Pokhara, Nepal where many birds of prey-such as the griffon vulture, steppe eagle and black kite-can be found. While taking a tandem paragliding flight with British paraglider Adom Hill, he had the opportunity to see raptors in flight, and realized that combining the sport of paragliding with his skills as a falconer could offer others the same experience. He has been based in pokhara ever since,training and flying birds during the dry season between September and March.
