What people are saying about Pashchimanchal, Western Region

The ride was amazing, it was my first time to experience paragliding. I planned and booked y ride early on and it was very well handled by all the teams involved. Nabin Pandey was especially the one to highlight, he managed all the communications and kept me updated on my paragliding. He made sure that I was picked up from Pokhara Airport (I only visited for 3 hours to do paragliding). He also made sure that I get a ride back to the airport as well. Last but not the least was my Pilot, Suraj. He took care of me on the ride and ensured that it went smooth and we landed safely after 30 minutes. Thanks a lot for a wonder full experience. Keep up the good work Nepal Social and Get your Guide....Looking forward for more travels and activities in 2023.

We really enjoyed our experience on this tour. Pick up was prompt and smooth. The guide was fantastic, gave us lots of useful information, answered all of our questions and his English was very clear. We were very lucky that the clouds were clear on our day so the views of the Himalayas were fantastic and we were one of the first groups up to the viewpoint. This is a short tour (although could be longer if you choose to make a stop for tea) which we thought was the perfect time given the very early start. Overall I would definitely recommend this experience as we got some great photos.

The overall experience was excellent. I was picked up from my hotel on time and was driven to Sarangkot. My Guide and Driver could not do enough for me. The sunset over the Annapurna region was magical and this memory will stay with me forever! ❤

Amazing trip with Air Dynasty Heli Services! Great people, experienced pilots! Thank you, Get Your Guide!
