Maya Devi Village is not only a beautiful and tranquil hideaway, it's the home to one of the most exciting and unique adventure activities in the world, Parahawking.

We've put together a 3 night package that will include plenty of relaxing hours at our beautiful lakeside guesthouse plus Parahawking and Falconry lessons. Parahawking is Paragliding with trained birds of prey. We have trained birds of prey to fly with the paragliders, interact with them in the air and even guide them to the thermals. It was pioneered in 2001 by our team  of bird training and paragliding experts and is now quickly becoming the "must do" activity in Nepal. Recommended by the Lonley Planet

Day 1 - Arrive at Maya Devi Village (12 pm)

From your very own traditional style round lodge at Maya Devi Village, put your feet up and relax in the beautiful surroundings. Enjoy a beverage on the veranda of your own hut, watch the Paragliders coming in to land and enjoy the magnificent views of lake Phewa as the sun disappears behind the mountains in the distance.

Day 2 - Morning: Falconry Lessons - Afternoon: Parahawking Tandem Adventure Flight
During your falconry lesson, you'll learn the basic fundamentals of training birds of prey including, bird handling, basic training and equipment skills. Then we'll exercise our birds out in the fields in front of the lake where they will fly to you for a reward. A great way to get some fantastic pictures.

After lunch we'll start preparing for your first Parahawking tandem flight. We'll head up to the take off site with the first of our specially trained Egyptian Vultures. Once prepared we take to the skies accompanied by our feathered friends, who will fly with us and even guide us to the best thermal updrafts. You'll be overwhelmed at the feeling of sharing the sky with trained bird of prey and to be a pat of their world. But that's not all, you'll also get to call the bird to your gloved hand and feed them during the flight. Now thats something you can't do everyday. We then land right outside Maya Devi, the home and birth place of Parahawking.... you can then marvel at the hundreds of photos and video that we take during your flight over a cold beverage.**

Day 3 - Morning: Parahawking Tandem Adventure Flight
You'll open your eye once again to the beautiful view of the lake. After breakfast we'll head up the mountain by car for your second Parahawking Tandem flight. You'll know the drill by this stage and with any luck the morning sun will be lighting up the Annapurna mountain range. We'll fly with our second Parahawking Egyptian Vulture this time. Our birds will lead the way, interacting with us and we climb in the thermals and cruise gently over the calm waters of the lake below. Remember to smile as we'll be taking pictures and movies. Once again we land at the outside Maya Devi where a cold drink and lunch awaits. You can then spend the rest of the day simply relaxing on your own veranda or you can take in more adventure activities such as kayaking on the lake. Either way, there is no better place to spend your precious time in Pokhara than at Maya Devi Village.

As if flying with our own trained birds of prey wasn't enough, Pokhara is one of the worlds premier destinations for paragliding with the worlds largest raptors. There is every possibility that we will also share the sky with Himalayan Griffon Vultures, White Backed Vultures, Red Headed Vultures, Cinerious Vultures, Egyptian Vultures plus Steppe Eagles, Bonellis Eagles, Black Eagles and even Peregrine falcons.

This is one experience that you are unlikely to forget.
