Paragliding Mahabaleshwar

After a long wait of 2 months finally we went for paragliding & man that was great :) . We started @ 6.30AM from kothrud due to really cold weather we reached Pachgani by 8.30 AM really early than expected.As wind was not upto the mark we had to wait for some time & ride started at 9.30. I was with Ajay the senior most person from Glider group.




At first we had to put the safety parachutes at our back & then run towards the Vally , the pilot was adjusting the control for whole session. It was like helicopter, after take up we really went very high.




then the best part occurs pilot swings the parachute a bit , not a bit by a fraction & those few seconds you are like about to die or something but when that comes to end we wanna have more.




Landing was great too. The ride was for 1500 Rs & came to an end really withing 15 minutes. Well though that is short time period, I'll remember this throughout my life for sure.







If you are in Mahabaleshwar , you must go inside the strawberry farm & we did the right thing. Had a lot of them in the field. We left immediately & reached Pune by 1.30 PM.




In the evening we finally bought the all cooking material & had the first Dinner @ Kothrud. Men was simple, Raita, Rice & Dal fry , Strawberry pie for the desert. Well that turned out to be the best food in recent times. Moments like these are really hard to find these days with so much stress around & i was lucky enough to enjoy such with my close friends
