All you need to know about Paramotoring at kondapochamma sagar reservoir

[JRD]

General:

1. I am not sure why many people are calling it `Paragliding`, but actually, it is `Paramotoring`.

 

Location:

1. https://goo.gl/maps/KQ5bfr2FjF7Zqmd3A

 

Timings:

1. 6:30 AM - 9:30 AM
2. 3:30 PM - 6:00 PM (Open all 7 Days)

 

Duration and Pricing / Per Person (Inclusive of taxes and Insurance)

1. 2500 Rs - 5 Mins
2. 4000 Rs - 10 Mins (I personally Recommend this; I mean, in terms of pricing, airlift time, experience without getting bored, I felt this is best. Actually, I went with this because I checked with a guy who was already experienced with 15 Mins and 10 Mins)
3. 6000 Rs - 15 Mins
4. 8000 Rs - 20 Mins

• They are charging extra 1000 Rs for a GoPro video... So I suggest carrying your own Go Pro if you have one already
• Note: They are claiming that the longer you fly, the higher you go, so better choose a longer duration... But, I observed the blokes who went with 10 and 15 mins, and I felt like the altitude was ALMOST the same. Yes, I agree, there is a huge difference between 5 and 10 Mins (I mean, it is not even possible to fly high in just 5 mins as we all know) but is it really worth choosing a longer duration than 10 or 15? My answer is no. I agree that we will get an opportunity to fly longer but higher altitude? 

 

Pre-Booking is Mandatory: (But I see, they are accepting spot payments if there is no rush, even I didn't pre-book)

1. 50% of the amount we have to pay in advance to confirm the booking (Non-Refundable: In case you cancel it. Refundable: In case they cancel it.)

 

How to Pre-Book?:

1. Call this number 9950780434 (we have to make an advance payment (50% of total) via UPI, and we have to share the screenshot with them on WhatsApp)

 

Slots:

1. Limited (so better to go with pre-booking so that we no need to get into last-minute surprises)

 

Weight Restrictions?: 

1. Minimum: 20 Kgs
2. Maximum 120 Kgs

 

Age Restriction:

1. There is no age restriction for this, but I personally don't suggest for the people whose age is > 55 

 

Best time: 

1. Sun-Rise or Sun-Set? it's your choice... If we plan for a Sun-Rise, we have to wake up early and reach it by 6:00 (It is around 50Kms far from HYD) If we plan for sunset, we need to handle the dark side of the day.

 

Road Condition:

1. Not good at all

 

and finally, it is a thrilling experience, you will definitely enjoy it a lot.

My suggestion:

• Fly with Abhay Singh Rathore, blindly trust me, this guy is a gem, I felt he played with the machine very well than other pilots.
