Vagamon Paragliding

Vagamon Paragliding

Vagamon has been identified as the hotspot for paragliding by tourists and travelers all over. The hill station which lies nearly 6,000 ft above sea level and where the weather is known to be fickle was till recently only an offbeat tourism destination for travellers from the State. But today, it has found a place in the international tourism map because of paragliding.

A paragliding holiday in the hill top destinations is a welcome activity for the adventure enthusiasts. The brave hearts and challengers among them can take part in the annual paragliding contest. The site is situated at the hills of Kolahalamedu, 4 kms from Wagamon. There is a 10 km long ridge of 3,000 feet in height from top to bottom. This site has steady winds blowing in the south western direction throughout the season. The paragliding season starts from September and offers great flying conditions until January and again, from March to May. Wagamon boasts of a cool climate during most part of the year.
