Adventure Activities around Manali
We offer Tandem Paragliding in Dobhi, located 35 km short of Manali. Tandem paragliding is flying in a paraglider built for two people. The pilot and passenger fly together, with the pilot in the rear. Tandem flights are a great way to experience the thrill of flying in a Paraglider. Passengers can even take the controls in the flight and learn about flying a Paraglider throughout the flight. The harness is extremely comfortable and the low flying speed of a Paraglider makes takeoffs and landings gentle and slow. When you book your tandem flight with us, we take care of all the logistics and ensure that you only get trusted pilots with years of experience and all the requisite qualifications.

Rafting on the Beas river is a popular activity among adventure enthusiasts. The river originates in the mountains north of Manali at the popular trekking spot of Beas Kund (contact us for organising the trip), and flows through the picturesque Kullu Valley, offering exciting rapids and beautiful scenery, making it a perfect spot for rafting. The river's grade ranges from easy to moderate, making it suitable for both beginners and experienced rafters. The best time to go rafting in Manali is from May to June and September to October when the river is at its fullest, providing the most thrilling experience.
The starting point is close to Raison village, a 25 min/15 km drive away. The rafting itself is an 8km stretch that takes about 30 mins to ride.
