Parapente Raigad Fort

Located off the Pune Mahad highway, approximately 180 kilometers from Kamshet town, Raigad Fort is a historical marvel overlooking the confluence of the Gandhari and Kaal rivers. This 3000-year-old fort, once a stronghold of the Maratha empire, offers a unique paragliding experience with a take-off altitude of 2700 feet above mean sea level (msl). The site is best suited for advanced pilots, particularly during the winter season. Access to the take-off point is facilitated by a cable car service that transports you to the top of the fort. Although the take-off area is somewhat tight, it is manageable and the flying experience is exceptional. Pilots can soar above the fort, taking in views of the ruins of the Queen's Chambers, cells for war prisoners, a shopping area, and a beautiful temple at one end. The high launch point provides an excellent opportunity for cross-country (XC) flights, offering stunning views of the wide river valley and connecting ridges.
