When there's a smile in your heart
There's no better time to start
Think of all the joy you'll find
When you leave the world behind
And bid your cares goodbye
You can fly, you can fly!
You can fly, you can fly!
You can fly!
- Peter Pan

So after a lot of doubt and contemplation, the papers are signed and there is no way back. I felt sick while driving up to Sarangkot (1600 m) and the bumpy road didn't help either. We each got assigned to a pilot (I was with Suren), got geared up and before I knew it, the parachute caught the air and we were soaring through the sky. I kept thinking "holy cow, I just literally ran off a mountain!" As we caught the thermals, we went higher and higher towards the clouds. It really was a surreal experience to just sit in the sky, letting the wind take you wherever it feels like and enjoying the mountain views. The flight lasted around 30 minutes. As we were approaching our landing area next to the Phewa lake, the pilot performed some acrobatics. This was quite crazy! We spinned around and went so fast I couldn't breathe. The feeling was something I've never felt before and it was great fun!
So courageous!! I am sure I could not do it ! You can fly, you can fly! :-)
