A short paragliding flight in Guduari will be one of those adventures that everyone will want to tell about. The site from which the air journey begins is located at an altitude of more than 2000 m. From this place, the pilot starts and flies in the direction of the waterfall in Arsha.
There is a legend that the locals pass from mouth to mouth. The waterfall itself consists of three waterfalls, which are called "Beard", "Maiden's Spit" and Men's Tears. The legend says that when two lovers found out about the impossibility of being together, they fell into despair. The girl, unable to bear this grief, decided to jump off the cliff. The young man did not have time to save his beloved. He could only touch her hair with his hand. Having lived to a ripe old age, the man did not stop grieving for his beloved, leaving a trail of his tears on the rock. Since then, according to legend, three waterfalls have formed at this place, testifying to love, over which time has no power. Tourists have the opportunity to see this amazing sight for themselves, soaring in the sky under the clouds.
What are the features of paragliding
Many people, looking from the side, can confuse a paraglider with a parachute. The fact is that that part of the paraglider, which is called the wing, is visually similar to a parachute. However, they have one fundamental difference - parachutes do not fly. With a parachute, you can only descend to the ground. A paraglider, on the contrary, is able to give a person the opportunity to make a long flight. It is thanks to him that you will be able to soar above the ground and go on a journey through the air for several kilometers. According to its original idea, the paraglider is designed specifically for flights in mountainous areas. Therefore, a short paragliding flight in Gudauri is ideal for him in all respects.
The device of a paraglider is quite simple and a good pilot can easily cope with it. Slings are attached to the wing of this aircraft. They allow you and your instructor to securely and firmly fix the entire system.
You are in good hands
Reliability and safety during the flight are guaranteed. The training of instructors does not raise doubts and fears for one's life. Their professional training has been tested by time and by many lucky people who had the pleasure of flying. A team of people who are truly dedicated to their favorite work work here. Convenient and safe places are chosen as launch sites. During a short paragliding flight in Gudauri, you can completely surrender yourself to the power of unforgettable sensations, without thinking about the specifics of the flight. The duration of a short flight is approximately 7-10 minutes, but the impressions will last for a long time.
How to prepare for paragliding
It should be noted right away that you do not need special training, there are professional instructors for this. All you have to do is follow the pilot's instructions and enjoy the flight. You do not need to independently influence the control of the device. The paraglider soars in the air, allowing you to enjoy the charm of Gudauri. As for your equipment, you should choose clothes that will suit the weather conditions. It should be comfortable, not hinder movement, preferably covering arms and legs. In conclusion, I would like to add that the delight that a person experiences when flying on a paraglider cannot be compared with anything. Only the sky and the clean mountain air of Gudauri can give such sensations.
