Paragliding in Pathankot

Paragliding in Pathankot

This Paragliding project was started to make Pathankot a tourist destination. The project was prepared by the Forest Department. Incharge Karnveer Singh and Pilot Hardev Thakur, Rescue and Re-Traveling of Beed Billing Paragliding Association, said that the site meets all standards.

The team has done successful trials twice. Leather port is suitable and safe for paragliding in every respect. Till now, amateurs of paragliding had to visit Beed Billing of Kangra in Himachal and Solang Nala in Manali. Now Pathankot will also be an option. This will give a new boost to the tourism of Pathankot.

The Charming View of the Shivalik Hills

The Dhar region of Pathankot is surrounded by the hills of Shivalik. The Chamrod port in Dhar is surrounded by Ranjit Sagar Lake, where water remains throughout the year. It has a hill on one side and a flat area on the other side. Takeoff can be taken from the hill due to the altitude of more than 700 meters and the landing is also safe due to the flat terrain. Beautiful views of the lake and Shivalik can also be seen from the sky. Apart from this, Dalhousie is 30 kilometers from Chamrod, where there is a flow of tourists throughout the year.

30 km from Pathankot City.

The distance of Pathankot City Chamrod Port is just 30 kilometers. The Forest Department has taken the responsibility of making this site a tourist spot. He has created four Nature Huts to develop the site as a tourist destination. DFO Dr Sanjeev Tiwari says that private boating, jarbing ball and nature trail will also be available. At present, no decision has been taken on paragliding charges. The DFO says that it is heartening that the first paragliding site in Punjab was selected in Pathankot. Soon this site will be opened to tourists.
