NEPAL
Flying in Nepal is incredible and a good place to start is Pokhara in the Anapurna region. Flights from Europe are available for 650 EUR with Gulf-Air or Quatar-Air. It´s posible via Delhi and an indian airline (e.g.Sahara) to Kathmandu. From Kathmandu take a local Airlone (BuddhaAir 75USD one-way) or the local bus 7 hrs. to Pokhara.
Guesthouses (2 EUR/night) are everywhere so no need to book. Also Luxury nerds will find their bed (50USD).
I recommend BlueSky Paragliding. The organize the transport to the local Sarangkot site as well as 3-5 day tours to the beauiful sites around.
GREAT flying and GREAT people. A must for pilots !

Sunpon lives in Petchaburi (2 hours bus drive SW of Bangkok) and organizes the flying at Petchaburi Site.
