Parahawking is a relatively new development in aviation in Nepal. The project has been under construction for some time with the training of the birds but has only just open up to public patronage.

It is the art of training birds to fly along side paragliders, leading them to thermals and performing tricks. Like paragliders, hawks rely on thermals to glide long distances. The hawks are trained to utilize the thermals and guide the paragliders to them.

The birds used are Black Kites, which are particularly agile in flight and very good with tricks and aerial maneuvers.

You can experience parahawking in a number of ways.
