Paragliding at kamshet with Nirvana Adventures



"We can go for paragliding at kamshet" i asked. All agreed unanimously.

And we all met on a Saturday morning at vashi to leave for Kamshet. we all had decided rather than dozing off and having a dull weekend back at home lets leave for mumbai for some adventure.

We reached "Native Place" at about 1 pm in the afternoon after some rough ride through the patchy and kuccha roads of kamshet...which i got to know the actual name is Karmashetra...the land of your karmaa.....well karmaa....i have some liking for this word.

To start of....... let me introduce the crew.....

Kunal
Girish
Anish daniel.....or should i say jack daniel....or maybe anish mallya....
Avinash
Kamlendra
Toj
& Me.....Vivek

After reaching Native place we had a good home made lunch consisting of Chicken Gravy, Dal and some veggie stuff....it was home....prepared in complete home style......

We were told that we would be leaving at 2.30 pm to take off site.....we had to drive ourselves....and the roads.....ah we ahd a good off road challenge....our cars were tested to their limits....inally after driving for 30-40 min we reached Shelar tekdi...the take off site.
we had to walk for about 30 min to reach launch pad at about 200 feets above.....

Exhausted at the top we were craving for water up there...and our unhealthy lifestyle was being shown.....we climbed 200 feet as if we had climbed he everest......

Huffing and puffing we waited till the preparations were done for the launch.....

Finally the wait was over and the rest of the story you can see through the snaps and video below.....
