Last week, I went paragliding at a place called Kamshet. It's near Pune in Maharashtra. More details on this in my travel blog (coming soon, I promise :~)).
Kamshet is very popular in India for paragliding pilots. Also met a lot of people there - David, Richard, Mauritz, Chicco among others. All the pilots were in Kamshet since the past few days. Chicco does tandem paragliding, so that first-timers can have a taste of the adventure. If you need more info on paragliding in Kamshet, do mail me and I'll send it to you. My mail ID is shruthi @ (this domain).
David is with Airworks Paragliding School in the UK. If you're interested in learning to paraglide, visit Airworks Paragliding School for more information!
In case you are interested to learn paragliding in India, check out the folks at Nirvana Adventures. They have a very nice place for paragliding adventures and friendly people. The contact person there is Mr.Sanjay. When we landed in Kamshet, this was the first place we tried, but unfortunately they were full and so we went in for Melissa's place.
I had done parasailing previously, where a Tata Sumo would drive around an open area with a glider attached to it. But it wasn't nearly as exciting as paragliding.
