I recently went Paragliding in Kamshet, which is in Maharastra, India and this post is all about that experience. Paragliding is entirely dependent on the wind. Unlike Hot air balloons, which use the gas to power up their way through the sky. Paragliding is essentially gliding on the wind, where the wind would fill up the gliders and take us up for a ride. Several of us waited and watched the solo riders Paragliding their way through the sky. I had booked up for a Tandem experience where an experienced Paraglider, would be with me at all the times.
