Paragliding Timbis Bukit Nusa Dua

Located in Bali, Indonesia, the coastal ridge soaring site on the southern tip of the Bukit Peninsula offers an exhilarating paragliding experience. The site is known for its frequently used launch points and good coastal soaring conditions, making it possible to achieve impressive distances. The take-off area is situated at the top of a cliff with a sloped top area, providing a spacious and comfortable launch zone. The primary take-off location is Hill 100 Nusa Dua, while the designated landing zone is Timbis Beach. The flying season typically runs from May to October. Wind conditions in this region are generally stable but can be strong. Thermals are rare, and the best wind direction is directly from the south, coming off the sea. The long beach cliffs are ideal for ridge soaring, allowing pilots to glide towards the west (Uluwatu) or east (Hotel Nikko). For those interested in the site specifics, the coordinates are as follows: - Road access: 8.8319 S, 115.19093 E - Site location: 8.8420 S, 115.1918 E The site features a 15 km long cliff, perfect for sea-side ridge soaring. Pilots can fly left towards the Niko Resort Hotel, where they can even soar above the hotel's pool, providing a thrilling spectacle for poolside guests. This site is also suitable for beginners and learners. A site fee of USD 20 is required, which is valid for 12 months. When flying right from the launch, pilots can head towards the spectacular Ungala Cliffs. However, caution is advised when the wind is from the SSE to SE, as return flight penetration can be challenging, and there are limited landing opportunities below the cliffs. Additionally, rotor effects can occur at certain wind strengths, particularly at the Ungala end and about 50 meters back from the launch area ridge. In such conditions, it is safer to opt for a beach landing.
