Compared to skydiving, the advantage of paragliding is that it has a pilot harness where the pilot can sit and enjoy the ride while maneuvering the glider with its advanced gears. With the paraglider’s technology, it encourages many daredevil flying stunts like the thermal flying where thermal air pockets are used by experienced paragliders to spiral up to the cloud base.

Activities such as zip lining and parasailing are ideal if you want effortless adrenaline rush. Meanwhile, in mountain climbing, you’ll have the breathtaking sceneries, challenging trails, and the thrill of reaching the top.

You may also slam against the rock if you don’t manage your fall well.
