Aerial suspense

The paragliding haven of Pokhara in Northwest Nepal offers up the chance to soar above mountains and lakes against the backdrop of the Himalayas

There is a Chinese saying which goes: "It's easier to get up a hill than it is to come back down." That may be true for mountaineers, but for paragliders in Nepal's northwestern city of Pokhara I'm guessing it's the other way.

The way up to Sarangkot Hill to the west of the city is bumpy and narrow.
