Paragliding Student after take off from Pu'u Loa Hawaii

Posted by Picasa
Located at the base of Mauna Kea, Hawaii at 7200 feet Pu'u Loa makes for one of the best paragliding and hang gliding training sites in the State of Hawaii or anywhere else I can think of
in terms of conditions, terrain and beauty. This site turns a student into a complete mountain pilot in very short order. Conditions are usally calm in the morning and then build to strong with great xc potential. Our club has permission to use several hundred acres of pristine wilderness flying sites.

Vagamon is an emerging international paragliding destination.
This is situated at the border of Kottayam and Idukki districts at an altitude of 1, 100 metres above sea level. The ideal wind speed, low hills, rocky terrain and flatlands make Vagamon hills a safest and all-time destination. With sprawling tea plantations, scenic settings and a
cool climate round the year, Vagamon is a favourite haunt of tourists to Kerala. 
 
Getting there: Vagamon is 25 km from Peermede.

Nearest railway station: Kottayam, about 75 km from Peermede.

Nearest airport: Cochin International Airport, about 150 km from Peermede
