With conditions milder than summer alpine, these are excellent and constant atmospherics. The topography and climate of Pakistan also make it an ideal destination for all levels of pilots – subtropical conditions provide plenty of thermals and combined with the long valleys common in Pakistan, they produce perfect “cloud streets” ideal for Para gliders, inviting them to fly along this “sky highway. The local microclimate, controlled by the numerous lakes in the valley, is unique, which makes it even better for the glider. The takeoff points for these flights is Hushey Valley near entry point of the Central Karakorum National Park infront of the Masherbrum Peak, which offers prime views of Hushey Valley and the Masherbrum range, Ghandogoro Glacier and whole Baltoro Glacier and the mountains at sunrise and sunset. Paragliding s Paragliders come to the Gilgit-Baltistan region, particularly the Hushey Valley, to fly above the lofty mountains and glaciers, thousands of feet above the land. This allows them better views of the scenic valleys, apart, definitely, from giving an adrenaline rush, while braving the chilly cold air blowing fast at the heights. Pleasant, but not an easy feat, by any means!!
