Vol-Bivouac Himalayas.
"Vol-Bivouac" literally means, fly-camping.
Where we carry only the necessary equipment with us, in flight
and cross sections of mountainous terrain on foot and by air.
The mission is to launch within the mountains,
and fly as far as possible using thermals and soar vast distances,
landing at the end of the flyable day near a suitable launch,
from which our expedition may begin again the next day.
The amount of skill and planning that is necessary for long
vol-bivouac flights in huge mountains is massive,
due to the complexities of mountain weather and terrain.
The distinct views for Tandem(Bi Place) passengers
We launch at 2300msl the valley widens and
you get great eagle eye views of the majestic himalayas.
The flight winds up through pine, deodar and birch forests
with mountain streams to break the monotony,
With steep ascent over moraine, scree and glacier,
The climb is broken by a small lake just below the pass.
From the top(3700msl), we glide to the only Isolated village in the valley,
The evening will be spent resting at Camp, Explore village and the surrounding areas.
Isolated and seldom visited. "Members of the Gaddi tribe inhabited".
Next Day the flight now continues down stream the river Parvati over the Cedrus deodar forest,
The soaring proceeds over open meadows initially followed by a steep descent to a stream.
Crossing it, We continue arduous steep climb till the end of the kulu valley canyon.
to get a splendid 360° view of hanging glaciers, "your first glimpse of the lush green valley".
In the last leg, on an alpine plateau studded with thick growth of alpine flowers,
which appears swathed in the different colors of the season. We land at our final destination.
