I recently completed my paragliding training course with Paragliding Mantra, and I am happier with the experience! The team is highly professional, knowledgeable, and supportive throughout the training.From the very first session, they ensured I felt comfortable and confident with the equipment and safety protocols. The instructors were incredibly patient and took the time to explain every step in detail, making sure I understood not just how to paraglide but also the why behind every technique.The highlight was their emphasis on safety and practical training. The hands-on sessions were exhilarating, and their guidance made even the most challenging aspects feel manageable. The scenic locations they chose for the flights added an unforgettable touch to the whole experience.Thanks to Paragliding Mantra, I now feel confident and well-prepared to paraglide independently. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for the best paragliding training. They truly are the go-to experts in this field!

The location was absolutely stunning, with breathtaking views that made the whole experience even more incredible. The team not only teaches you the technical aspects of paragliding but also shares their passion for the sport, making it all the more enjoyable. Overall, I highly recommend Paragliding Mantra for anyone interested in learning to paraglide or improving their skills.

Excellent paragliding experience with PG Mantra at Kamshet. The staff were responsive and experienced, and both myself and my 10 yo had a very enjoyable flight. Expect delays (see the note below) due to weather.NOTE: The flying is _extremely_ weather dependent, so you may end up needing to wait at the launch site for quite a while. Bring plenty of snacks and water to eat while you wait! Even if you're given a specific time, that's more of an aspirational time, but they won't (well, can't) actually start flying unless conditions are favourable. They also sequence people based on wind conditions, person's weight, and available instructors/paragliders, not by who came first. It could be about 3-4 hours start to finish from the meeting point in Kamshet. (In my case, we had a meeting time of 2pm, actually started flying at 3:45pm, and were back in Kamshet around 5:15)

We flew out to take the 10 day Club Course and are very glad we chose Mantra. We appreciated the high level of attention to safety that TJ and his crew maintained and were happy with the (very few) times that he decided the conditions were too much for us. We saw beginner pilots flying in those conditions and were glad to not be in their situations. At the end of the course we felt like true pilots...fledgling pilots who can only fly at certain types of places in certain types of conditions...but pilots nevertheless. Mantra is the only paragliding school owned by a local Kamshet resident. He has continued that local emphasis by making a point of hiring Kamshet based instructors and staff. Much of the delicious food served at Mantra comes from TJ's family farm. When local permission issues rise up for the paragliding sites, TJ takes point for the larger flying community to help smooth things over. I think it added a lot to our experience to know we were supporting that.

Paragliding at Manatara was an unforgettable experience! The stunning views and thrilling flights made it a perfect adventure. The team was professional, ensuring safety and fun at every step. Special thanks to T.J. Sir for his excellent guidance and support. His calm demeanor and expertise gave me confidence throughout the flight. The equipment was top-notch and well-maintained. I highly recommend Manatara for both beginners and experienced flyers. The experience was worth every moment. Memories from this adventure will stay with me forever. Can't wait to visit again for another exhilarating flight!❣️
