Paragliding takeoffs in the Indian Himalaya (manual search)

Takeoffs in the Indian Himalaya, mainly in Himachal Pradesh and Uttarakhand, where flights uploaded to XContest begin. Unlike the rest of this map they come from a manual search, not from the full XContest data, and they show no XC performance. The other markers on the map are the regular XC map.

Caution

This list is not a guide to flyable sites. Before flying, ask local pilots, clubs or operators whether a takeoff is in use and safe, and check permits or registration, airspace, protected areas and border zones. Flying in the Himalaya needs mountain experience, local weather knowledge and a retrieve plan. You fly at your own risk. How the list was made, its limits and caution →
