About Mysore Paramotoring (Tandem flight)
Paramotoring in Mysore offers a breathtaking, bird’s-eye perspective of India's most famous heritage city. Unlike traditional paragliding which requires a high mountain to launch from, paramotoring uses a motorized propeller strapped to the pilot's back, allowing you to take off straight from flat ground. As you ascend, the engine noise blends into the background, leaving you with spectacular, unobstructed 360-degree views of the regal Mysore skyline and its surrounding natural landmarks.
