00:23 I started paragliding in 2004.
00:26 I got training from Bir in Himachal.
00:28 And later on, by 2013, we were flying commercial tandems.
00:34 So if I say you paragliding, the sites
00:37 which come to your mind is in Uttarakhand,
00:39 or Himachal, or Maharashtra.
00:41 So this is quite a different concept.
00:43 This is called tow paragliding or winch paragliding,
00:45 which is very popular in Texas.

01:17 Even pilot and passenger both wear the harness.
01:20 We have to be very careful with the harnessing,
01:23 the first procedure, which is clipping in the harness
01:26 to the passenger and the pilot.
01:27 So for that, we already have a trained crew with us.
01:31 So first, they check the passenger and the pilot both,
01:35 if they are clipped in or not.
01:37 Secondly, it is the responsibility of the pilot
01:39 to check the equipment.

02:24 So once we go up in the air, we are at a certain altitude,
02:27 around 1,000 feet of height.
02:28 We release the contraption, and it is free from the winch.
02:32 Then we can glide freely and just come and land back
02:35 at the same place.

02:51 Because they've got such a nice place here,
02:54 we've got several launch points here.
02:56 We have to fly against the wind.
02:58 So from wherever the wind is coming,
02:59 we can launch to this place.
03:02 Flying is, I think, is all a meditation,
03:05 because once you are up in the air, it is so silent,
03:08 so peaceful.
03:10 Most of the people, they just want to enjoy the flight.
03:12 They want to be there forever.
