Is there something you’ve always wanted to do, but are a little scared of? Yeah, me too! Wandering around Lakeside in Pokhara, I was fascinated by the paragliders flying just above the beautiful Fewa Lake. I gazed at them dancing and swinging in the air and thought that I did not have courage to do it. I was scared of heights and I was scared of flying and yet, there I was, feeling a strong urge to experience this extreme adventure sport.

Today, it would not be wrong to say that unexpectedly I have fallen in love with this messy yet perfect city.
