The natural factors like excellent wind condition and landscape of the Kashmir are remarkably suitable for this type of aero sport.\n<BR><BR>\nJammu, Sanasar, Kud, Batote and Nathatop are the places in Jammu region best suitable for this adventure sport. Tourists can choose to glide over valleys, mountains or lakes. However, listen to the operators on what would be best on that particular day. Also wear the proper gear and attach the strings tightly to avoid any mishap.\n<BR><BR>\nOne can choose to take glide in a Parachute with a pilot or can go solo over the valleys, lakes and mountains of these places. Paragliding in Sanasar can be experienced by taking short flight operating from Sanasar (take off) to Kud (Landing) for the duration of two to three minutes. One can even enjoy a high flying in Nathatop for 8 to 10 minutes at an altitude of 1500 to 2000 feet.\n<BR><BR>\nEquipments can be hired from tourist office Jammu or any private agencies. The best months to go for paragliding in Sanasar are May-June and September-October.\n<BR><BR>\n<b>Paragliding Spots<\/b>\nOne can choose to take glide in a Parachute with a pilot or can go solo over the valleys, lakes and mountains of these places.
