A 15–20 minute flight with an instructor: take-off from a slope above Cholpon-Ata, Issyk-Kul below you and the snowy Kungey Ala-Too behind.

A tandem flight needs no preparation at all: you fly together with an instructor who controls the paraglider on take-off and landing. All you do is take a few steps at the start. We drive up to the take-off site on the slope above Cholpon-Ata in an off-road vehicle. While the instructor lays out the wing, we go through the briefing. The flight itself lasts 15–20 minutes depending on the wind: below you are the blue waters of Issyk-Kul, the town and its orchards, and behind you are the snowy peaks of Kungey Ala-Too. We fly only in suitable weather: if the wind does not allow it, we reschedule the flight or give you a full refund. Video and photos of your flight from the instructor's camera are included.
