We first met Somya in Iceland where she was travelling with her husband. We were still in the planning stages of our project and Somya gave us good advice for travelling in India. Then I met her again briefly in Greece where she and Andreas took me in to their home and out to their local sightseeing and flying sites. Somya offers a unique insight into paragliding as caught somewhere between being the perfect pilot’s partner and a flyer, completely immersed in the whole paragliding way of living though not a pilot … and loving it!

We also asked Somya to tell us about her background in India and share her perspective on the freedom and lives of women in her country.
