Kamshet is a picturesque hill station in Maharashtra, approximately 102 km from Mumbai, 49 km from Pune, and 19 km from Lonavala via the old Mumbai–Pune highway (NH4). Surrounded by the scenic Sahyadri hills, it is a popular hub for tandem paragliding in India.
Kamshet sits in the Sahyadri range about 19 km from Lonavala, 49 km from Pune and 102 km from Mumbai, which makes it the most accessible paragliding site in western India. Its ridges face the steady wind that funnels up the Pawna valley, so pilots get reliable lift for most of the day from October to May. Two well-established take-offs, Tower Hill and Shelar Hill, let us pick the safest launch for the day's wind. Add views of Pawna Lake, Lohagad and Tikona forts and open farmland for gentle landings, and you have the combination that has made Kamshet India's busiest tandem and training site.

Kamshet flies from October to May. October to February is the most comfortable window: cool, smooth morning air with light winds of roughly 10 to 15 km/h, which is ideal for first-time tandem passengers, and the reporting time is around 7:00 am. March to May brings stronger afternoon thermals and winds closer to 20 km/h, so flights are longer and higher and we shift to a 2:30 pm slot. The monsoon months of June to September are closed because rain and gusty winds make launching unsafe. If you want the calmest ride, book a winter morning; if you want the longest flight, book a summer afternoon.
