Uttarakhand will
organise its first – ever international paragliding championship in March,
which will be held under the aegis of the Uttarakhand Tourism Development Board
(UTDB) with the support of Kumaon Mandal Vikas Nigam (KMVN). The competition will
be organized from March 14 – 19 in the Pithoragarh district.
KMVN general manager
said the championship will be an open event and 40 foreign para pilots are
expected to take part in it. Noting that
the biggest paragliding event in India is held in Panchgani, Maharashtra in
February, he stated that a team of officials from Uttarakhand will conduct a
visit there to obtain technical details of such events.
The committee that
would conduct this event has been formed by the government with senior
administrative officials. The immense natural beauty of the hills and the
locales of Pithoragarh were the reason behind it being chosen as the venue for
the event. A technical team is looking at the feasibility of the points from
where paragliders would take off.
