Para-Gliding in Bilaspur : 

History of Para-Gliding and Hang-Gliding : Most of us have had dreams of 姉�ying at one time or the
other. Psychologists may pose heavy symbolism on such dreams, but how many psychologist leave
their stu¨y rooms and o¸ces to give a longing lingering look at the windswept hills or watch a hzawk
soar silently on gentle currents of study winds? We contend that an urge to 姉�y and sour high in to
blue silky sky is an end itself and mankind has always had a profound desire to chase the 姉�ying birds
above.

In times past, this burning usage was thwarted by lack of 姉�ying machines, lack of money, lack of time
and zeal. Not anymore. We now have new method of taking to the air that combines latest in
technology with low cost and simplicity to bring the reality of 姉�ight accessible to everyone. Para-
Gliders and Hang-gliders have made all this possible and brought about long cherished 姉�ying within
reach of a common man and woman.

We 姉�y through invisible 姉�uid (Air) that must be understood in order to thoroughly know the
capabilities and limitations of 姉�ying wings to gain control. Once one gains the understanding and
masters the beginning skill, he yearns to expand the horizon by 姉�ying higher and further. Thus the
newly trained pilot enter the new realms, where the dreams come true.

Today the state of Himachal Pradesh is playing a lead role in the ំ�eld of Paragliding, in our country.
One can see the skies of billing (Kangra), Solang (Manali) and Bandla   (Bilaspur) over cast with ↑ TOP ↑
colourful butter姉�ies (Paragliders). Joy sides have become great attractions for tourists visiting the
state. The credit goes to the State Government especially the department of Tourism, which has
played a key role in promotion of Paragliding in the State.

Para-Gliding in Bilaspur : Before the year 1994, there was hardly any para-gliding or hang gliding pilot
in Himachal Pradesh, excepting one, Roshan Lal Thakur from Manali, who had acquired some skill in
姉�ying from foreign pilots, often visiting Manali as tourist. Mean while R.P. Gautam who had come on
retirement from Central Reserve Police Force as Commandant, visualised the vast potential in
paragliding from Bandla mountain. To make his dream come true, he got in contact with Shakti Singh
Chandel, the then Director Tourism and Civil Aviation, to extend all possible help to promote
paragliding not only in Bilaspur, but also in whole in Himachal Pradesh. The Director Tourism, who
himself belonged to Bilaspur, took keen interest in approving Bandla top as take o¨ site, gave
ំ�nancial assistance to run para gliding courses for Bilaspur under Himachal Aero Adventure Institute
Bilaspur, which under expert guidance of Mr. Bruce Mills from New Zealand and Alexi Garisimov from
Russia, got the pilots trained. Thus Bilaspur was brought on World Map in Paragliding.

What is special about Bilaspur, which is not there in 姉�ying sites at other places, is that it gives you
almost eight hours of 姉�ying time as against 3 to 4 hours maximum at Billing or Manali. More over it
has vast and safe landing grounds on the bank of Govind Sagar Lake at LUHNU. From training point
of view,  Bilaspur can be considered the best in whole of Asia. It is laid down in the training manual
that training in instability maneuvers during advance pilot course  i.e. Dynamic Stall, deep stall, spiral
drive, spin reovery, assymmetric tuck, front tuck and deployment of Reserve Parachute, should be
carried out over a broad base of water for reasons. For this, there is hardly any place, where there is
any huge lake just beside the landing site. Bilaspur has the privilege of having unique combination of

Air Sports in one stretch, which is very rare.
