The Civil Aviation Authority of Nepal (CAAN) under the Ministry of Culture, Tourism and Civil Aviation had granted permission to Phulchowki Adventure Pvt Ltd to commercially run paragliding service in the Phulchowki-Kushadevi area of Kavre on last January. The CAAN had permitted the company to operate the service since last January itself.

He further informed that ‘demonstration’ paragliding was being made for now before the delivery of commercial service.
Following successful test operation, 10 paragliding flights would provide the service.
