Embark on a fun aerial adventure that will offer you a bird’s-eye glimpse of the stunning scenery of the beautiful island, Sri Lanka. When paragliding, the wing is usually aligned with the airstream by pulling or running which elevates the passenger as the pilot relaxes back to their backpack. This is the major process that is carried out in the main three types of paragliding (soaring, cross-country flying & thermal flying) with slight modifications.
Soaring paragliding is more dependent on the wind to rise where a fixed object or a dune helps the pilot to take flight through the slope while the air is directed upwards. The pilot’s skills and the steady wind is a must for this experience.
Cross-country paragliding is the next type of paragliding performed in Sri Lanka from Colombo to Kamshet and Nuwara Eliya. It includes travelling from one thermal to another. A thorough knowledge of rules, air law, and flight maps is required to fly successfully. Pilots select the thermals according to the characteristics of the landscapes and cumulus cloud formations.
Thermal paragliding is the next type of paragliding and it is executed in areas of intense heat like rocks and building structures. This type of paragliding includes going up in circular flights towards more powerful winds. You need to be precise and dedicated to master the talent of thermal paragliding and Sri Lanka's Bentota and Ella are the perfect places to try it out.
Do you want to experience the thrill of flight over the ocean? If you do, then parasailing is the best option for anyone who would love an adventure as such. This exhilarating activity of parasailing offers you the chance to indulge yourself in the breathtaking coastal vistas of Sri Lanka. You will be dragged behind a speedboat where a vibrant sail resembling a parachute is attached to you and the boat and this parachute takes you up into the sky when the boat speeds along the ocean waves. As you fly over the dazzling ocean, you'll witness the breath-taking views of Sri Lanka's stunning coastline and also witness the broadness of the Indian Ocean as you soar up higher. For anyone who would love to enjoy the natural splendour of this tropical paradise of Sri Lanka while getting a rush of adrenaline, this activity would be the best to try.
