Club Pilot Paragliding Course (CP)

If you've already been bitten by the paragliding bug, the Club Pilot Course is for you. On completion of this course, you will be qualified on your own, whether you buy or hire your own paragliding equipment.

By the end of this 4-day course, you would have learned advanced launch and landing techniques, how to make planned approaches, how to deal with instability, and many more valuable skills. You would also have made about 10 solo flights of approximately 45 mins each, if the weather permits.

We do not provide a license for this course. But we will update your log book with the skills learned and tasks performed. You will also qualify for the Club Pilot Paragliding Course.

Destination

Indus Paragliding lies in beautiful Kamshet, about 110 km away from Mumbai. This professional paragliding school takes you from beginner to being an experienced pilot qualified to fly your own glider.

Kamshet has low hills and higher mountains which are good for taking off and landing. It also has moderate weather and winds for most of the year, making it ideal for practising different types of flying.
