- Tom de Dorlodot and Horacio Llorens go paragliding in the Indian Himalaya. Leaving from the popular site of Bir/Billing they fly first to Manali, then cross the Rohtang Pass before flying to Keylong. They then enter the remote valley of Spiti, where they experience some spectacular flying at above 6,000m. Stunning film, by Red Bull Media House

Too be able to cover so much ground with so little equipment and so little expense is truly amazing..
We agree!
I did that with my shoulder once. Now, 30 years later I still have a wee lump on my shoulder because the arm bone never really got back to where it should be. That arm is a bit lower lol. It works fine though and I'm still on top of my paragliding game at 60. So don't worry. Just one of life's wee 'tattoos' on your body. A way to remember those fun days when you're old. Keep up the vids my friends.
Get a chiropractic adjustment.
Absolutely amazing. Himachal is my home site and it's first time anyone has presented in such a beautiful way.
Loved it ❤️. Going to share with all my friends asap.
Horacio and Thomas you guys are amazing.
This was amazing guys ! Welcome to one the most beautiful state in India - Himachal Pradesh
I was 40 years ago at the Spiti and Kulu valley, unforgetable, thanks for sharing !
@Kim sung Un ya right it is over, already middle end of 80 strange people came inside the hidden valley. and of course thousands of chabatis too.
Incredible experience. I’ll never do that, but I enjoyed watching it.
What a smashing film!!
Thank you for sharing such an inspiration of what our flying carpets can enable us to witness & live a little like birds.. ❤️
I remember going to all these places by road, about 4 years ago.. it was extremely arduous and demanding.. these are THE most dangerous terrains one will ever traverse, but from up there on the glider wings, they look So different and deceptively pretty! Awesome, super video!

Great video, love the locals inviting you. But you are pros and you show some poor examples to average pilots by filming yourselves with no hands on the brakes, helmet cam which will catch lines on a major collapse.
