Location
Initially called Karmakshetra, meaning the land of your actions, Kamshet is located off the Mumbai-Pune Highway, which was earlier named NH 4. Buddhist cave temples, medieval fortresses and hill stations are dotted along the highway, and are often utilised for paragliding. Kamshet is around 110 km from Mumbai and 45 km from Pune, and the new expressway makes commuting to it quite easy.
Topography
Kamshet is generally chosen to conduct paragliding training in Pune because of the moderate elevation of the Sahyadri mountain range. Here novice and student pilots can easily reach the take-off points as they are not at great heights. As the hills do not soar high in the sky, there is a plentiful of spacious landing areas, which are essential for beginners.
Weather
Kamshet is among the best places to opt for a paragliding course in India. This is mainly because of its weather, which mostly remains favourable for the activity. Club pilots can rely completely on it and come here on all their weekends. As the average velocity of the wind stays around 20 km/hour, flyers can come here and perfect their flying and ground handling skills. October to February is the time when Easterlies blow, while between March and June the Westerlies are active, and they allow people to try both dynamic and smooth flying.
What to Wear
To paraglide with ease, you need to wear t-shirts, full pantaloons, comfortable shoes and a cap. You are discouraged from wearing slippers, though.
