Parahawking in Pokhara Nepal ..

Parahawking is the art of training birds of prey to fly with Paragliders, it was developed and pioneered in 2001 in Pokhara, Nepal by Scott Mason, Adam Hill and Graham SG. By combining Paragliding with the ancient art of Falconry, we are able to train birds of prey to fly with us, guide us to thermals and even perform aerobatic manoeuvres.

Eagles, Kites and Vultures are natural soaring birds, together with Paragliders they use thermals to fly long distances whilst conserving energy. Our trained birds are no different, they will utilise the thermals and guide us to them, then be rewarded in the air for their efforts. The ultimate flying companion!

Black Kites are particularly agile in flight, out-manoeuvring the most skilled paragliders. Our Kites are able to spiral, stoop and perform the most incredible aerobatics whilst chasing the glider to get their reward.
