Where do you actually paraglide near Pune?
There is no flying site inside Pune city. Almost all paragliding near Pune happens at Kamshet, a small town between Lonavala and Talegaon. The hills around Kamshet catch steady, predictable wind from the Pawna valley, which is why it has been India's paragliding training hub for over two decades.
Our take-off sites include Tower Hill (gentle slopes, ideal for first-time flyers) and Shelar Hill (higher launch, longer flights). We choose the site each day based on wind direction so you get the safest and longest flight possible.
How to reach Kamshet from Pune
- By car or bike: Take the old Mumbai–Pune highway (NH48) via Wakad, Dehu Road and Talegaon. Kamshet is about 49 km from Pune city and roughly 35–40 km from Hinjewadi, so plan for 1–1.5 hours.
- By train: Pune–Lonavala local trains stop at Kamshet station. From the station our meeting point near Rangoli Hotel is a short auto-rickshaw ride.
- From the flying site: We transfer you from the meeting point to the take-off hill in 4x4 jeeps, as the last stretch is off-road.

Best time to go paragliding from Pune
The flying season runs from October to May. October to February brings calm, cool morning air that is perfect for first flights; reporting time is around 7:00 am. From March to May the afternoon thermals are stronger, so we fly in the late afternoon slot around 2:30 pm. Kamshet does not fly during the monsoon (June to September).
Weekends and long weekends from Pune book out early, so reserve your slot a few days ahead. Weekday mornings are quieter and slightly cheaper.
Make it a day trip from Pune
Kamshet pairs well with a Pawna Lake picnic or camping, a short trek to Lohagad or Tikona fort, or a stop at the Karla and Bhaja caves on the way back. Most of our Pune guests fly in the morning and spend the rest of the day around Pawna before heading home.
