Avia Club Nepal, Kathmandu, Bagmati Nepal

Coinciding with the official launch of Nepal Tourism Year-2011, Avia Club Nepal is organising the first-ever international air show  Himalayan Paramotor Yatra 2011 in Nepal.

We fly delta wing aircraft that belong to the category of Ultralight aircraft and fixed wing aircraft. Avia Club's specially trained, professional pilots have flown over 8000 tourist flights.

We also offer several options for paragliding in Nepal. From very accessible timed flights from Sarangkot to complete para-trekking packages that combine the ever popular trekking activity with paragliding.

The organisers are expecting about 30 participants from around the world. “As many as 17 participants from Brazil, Germany and Russia have already confirmed their participation,” Natasha Shrestha, managing director of the Avia Club Nepal, said. “They will fly from National Stadium and Tundikhel in Kathmandu,” she said. “In the second leg, the tour will continue to Hetauda, Bharatpur, Butwal, Lumbini, Tansen and conclude in Pokhara.

There are 11 companies involved in the air sport, according to the Ministry of Tourism and Civil Aviation since 1996.
