Chak De India

Rahul Gandhi and his ‘Chak De India’ team signed up for Nirvana Adventures 3 day free flight course. All of Kamshet is abuzz with the news. A steady west wind ensured that they experienced the magic of Shelar site. The kids at Shelar and the Nirvana Adventures team are honored to meet and to teach these amazing gentlemen. After successful flights on day two we welcomed them to the fraternity of paragliding pilots.

Philippe Grimpaillou is back with a team of pilots from France. They simply love the air in India. ‘Incredible!’ Is the word they often use to describe the flying the people and the camaraderie they find here. It’s always a pleasure to host them. We missed Francois Gwen and Karen who did not made it this time.

Vincent Verbon and his group of paragliding pilots from the Netherlands came to Kamshet on a flying holiday. They brought in the new-year, enjoyed the flying at Tower Hill, Lake View site and Shelar. They also enjoyed Indian food at Native Place and exploring the Kamshet market. We see them here basking in the sun after a great morning flight.
