| Thanks for the links. Enjoyed your videos. Could you tell me the cost & approx. duration ? Do you have any contact no. for Cafe Green Peace ? I will be going to Manali (on my way to Leh) with my wife during Mid - August. Would love to do Paragliding. But I doubt we can do the same during August. Ronak. |

|  Cafe Green peace is on the Naggar-Manali road near to Heritage Kulu shawl industry. The contact person is Vinay - 09816162737. Its recommended that you reach cafe green peace around 8.30 in the morning. Just give him a call and know about the climate and the possibilities before going. It hardly takes an hour or two for the complete process. First, from the cafe green peace they take you in a jeep ride up the hill for 7kms, then from there we have to trek for another 2kms up hill to reach the takeoff point. You may glide for around 10 to 15mins depending on the wind you catch. We paid Rs1500/person. Ideal conditions for doing para gliding is, there should not be any clouds / rain at all, sufficient amount of flowing wind, better to do in the morning. |

It is easy handling a digi cam while gliding since your pilot will be controlling the parachute. Even i took the landing scene of myself as a video. Para Gliding Touchdown | |

| Kartik, that sounds cool! But the price of the activity is not. Maybe one of these days we will head there and make an exception. |

| Local contact details for paragliding at Marhi Please tell me the contact person/agency details through whom you made arrangements of paragliding at Marhi. I am planning to do paragliding for 20-25 minutes during my family holidays visit to Manali in first week of May 2010. |

| Depending on the number of people and time you can bargain but should cost you at least 1500 for 20 min. There are many options to choose from on the way to Rohtang.

| Thanks a lot for your response traveller. But, are there any specific agencies or contact numbers, who can be contacted specofically for paragliding. We are 3 persons and want to do at least 20 minutes. I had checked last year at Solang valley, during my trip to Shimla-Narkanda-Sangla-Kalpa-Sarahan-Jalori pass-Manali-Chandigarh. The local operators were charging 1000 Rs at Solang valley site for that 1-2 minutes joy-ride paragliding. Not ready to negotiate/bargain for 3 passengers also. That too could not be done due to wind velocity problem. |

| As dear rkarthikeyan mentioned you can contact Green peace at Vinay - 09816162737. There is very less scope of bargaining over the phone and that too for a group of three..  I was there last September with a group of seven and they charged Rs 650 per person for 2 minutes paragliding.. |
