2006 Jamboree Bangalore

attended the jamboree over the last 2 days. Lots of interest in flying all sorts of machines with generous numbers interested in paragliding. let us see if any actually take the time to come and watch us fly, let alone continue onto a course. There is definitely a much need website to diffuse more information about the general state of flying as a sport in India.

First flight in india

Hello I am starting this blog in order to let loose my findings and experience flying in India. I am going to be in Bangalore for work and got in touch with the local paragliding club. They are flying on a regular basis in Nandi Hill, 60km north of the city. Here are a few pics of my first flight towards the end of the monsoon. This was back in october.


this is Naren, one of the fouding members of the club taking off



a final word of thanks to co-founder pilot Vinay who gracefully lent me his carabiners as i had left mine home. As i had not flown for a while and had removed all extra weight from my paraglider when i flew into bangalore from paris, in haste i had forgottten to put them back on. So many thanks Vinay!
