INARUWA, SUNSARI: Paragliding has become a popular sport among people who love adventure, and Dharan is no exception.

The adventure sport has been attracting an increasing flow of tourists lately in Dharan of Sunsari district.

Paragliders are seen flying over the Dharan sky and surrounding areas, including Chinde, Danda, Gorkha Park and Bhedetar.

“Although Dharan had tested paragliding flights in 2067 BS, its craze started growing lately. Dharan could become a hub for the adventure sport as an alternative to Pokhara,” said a paraglider Mani Kumar Jimi.

Meanwhile, the paragliding operators have demanded the government and local authorities to manage physical infrastructures and develop the adventure sport in the district.
