Pilot Rating: Elementary Pilot / APPI 1 Discover
Is it for me?
If you want to take up paragliding as a hobby, we would suggest you take up the 4-Day Elementary Pilot Course. It is a comprehensive course in which you learn the basic skills required to become a safe and competent paragliding pilot. To do this course you don’t need previous flight experience.
On completion of this course you are eligible for the APPI 1 Discover licence. Being an APPI certified school Nirvana Adventures can directly apply on your behalf. The license fee is currently 35 Euros for the first year, which you will be paying directly to APPI, Switzerland. Your license will be delivered to your given postal address directly by APPI.

WHAT DO I LEARN FROM IT?
This course is an extended version of the 3 day course. After hours of close supervision of ground training, you proceed to do a number of low level flights that helps build your confidence and judgment. Thereafter you progress to a number of higher flights, radio supervised by your instructor. The aim here is to hone the basic skills of launching, turning and landing and give you a strong foundation.

Food And Stay
When you sign up for a course with Nirvana Adventures you get the added benefit of staying at our beautiful tropical guesthouse, Native Place is an experience in itself. Overlooking the lake with great ambience, a garden filled with birds, trees, flowers, serving delicious home-cooked meals prepared with local ingredients grown in the garden.
Nirvana Adventures puts your safety first: We are conservative when it comes to training you on bunny slopes, tandem flights or High mountain sites. We do this only when the conditions are ideal. Safety is our main concern and we rely on good weather conditions for training you. Kamshet is fortunate enough to have the best climate with light and moderate winds for most of the year round, so fly-able days are plentiful.

I loved everything about it, the stay at Native Place, such a serene and beautiful location on the lake. the instructors were amazing and experienced mentors. The whole experience was enthralling with a sense of calmness. I am completely hooked and plan to be a regular at the native place now."- Jatin Patni, Mumbai, India
