In 2015 we have now 5 legals place to fly in Nepal

Pokhara with soon more then 20 -25 Tandem company using it
Bandipur under the AOC of Blue Sky
Sirkot under the AOC of Babu Adventure
And one in Katmandou 1 day open 1 day closed and one in West Nepal

From 1998 When I started paragliding in Nepal there was no rule and regulation
About Airsport
Then not big change until 16 Year later
Paragliding is considered as Money Income more than sport
And the statut of paragliding is under commercial aviation
Then civil aviation ask permit for fly
and company have to register under heavy Aviation rule

The general attitude in Nepal to stop any new improvment
and create difficulty that gives opportunities to take money .
The Base of corrupt system

A lot will change with the new generation of Pilot and the level of education Higher

The challenge to open paragliding company in Nepal
is to go true AOC Air operation certificat
usually AOC is for international commercial Aviation under ICAO rule .

There are now many paragliding companies in Pokhara , it is difficult to know who is who
even for me

I start some process to help the Nepal air association The first we open was the NPA
then NAA
Pay Lower to help the development of Air sport create Air sport box inside the CTR of Pokhara
and pass all thre VFR sky of Nepal in Air sport Zone.
Wihtout success and many trouble .

And airsport box is now the only place we can fly !!!!
( inside the Airport Control Zone of the Airport of Pokhara )
The more dangerous Zone in terme of Aviation !!!!

Here is the term of condition of civil Aviation of Nepal in 2015 !!!
