Synopsis

Paragliding, started in Nepal in 1996 and within 1 / 2 years of the establishment, commercial flights began in Pokhara. Presently, it has provided unique identity not only of Pokhara but also of our country, Nepal. It has become the center of tourist attraction as well as pride of Nepal.

The lifestyle of youths involved in paragliding is now comfortable. Most of the tourists when they visit Pokhara, just want to experience paragliding at least once. Paragliding has played a vital role in the development of tourism in Pokhara. Paragliding has brought the only “Silver Medal” to Nepal in the Asian Olympics. So as to make it famous internationally and for the reason to improve in every competition we have created a documentary of Subash Thapa, a pilot to identify paragliding and Pokhara. The documentary will play an important role to identify paragliding in Nepal to the rest of the world.
This documentary depicts how the main character “Subash” reached to the place where he is right now by being involved in paragliding despite his birth in a poor family. In order to provide justice to scenes of the documentary.
