The KamshetFlying Season
Timing is everything. Kamshet offers different flying experiences depending on the time of year.
Winter Soaring (Oct - Feb)
This is the peak season for tandem paragliding in Kamshet. The winds are stable, the air is cool, and the views are crystal clear. It is the best time for beginners to enjoy a smooth, long-duration joyride.
Summer Thermals (Mar - May)
As the ground heats up, it creates "thermals" (rising pockets of warm air). This allows advanced pilots to take you higher into the white. Expect a slightly "bumpy" but thrilling ride as we gain altitude like a bird.
Acrobatics

For the thrill-seekers, we offer Acro Paragliding. Experience high-G maneuvers like Wing-overs, Spirals, and SATs. It’s like a roller coaster in the open white, thousands of feet above Kamshet.
