★★★★★ Being able to fly in the air without wings is one of the greatest achievements for me. I never even imagined in my dreams that I would be able to do paragliding myself. But I was able to achieve this dream through the Temple Pilots team. I would especially like to say that Temple Pilots has worked very hard to design such an excellent program. They clearly understand what students need at the right time, how to guide them, and how to train them step by step. Because of their proper planning and dedicated training, we are able to learn and accomplish so much in a very short time. This is not just training, but a beautiful journey that builds confidence and helps fulfill dreams. Heartfelt thanks to the Temple Pilots team. Special thanks to Avi Sir, Anita Madam, and the entire Instructor team.

★★★★★ I recently completed a 4-day P1 course with Temple Pilots. I arrived with excitement, ready for the thrill of flying solo, and left with something far deeper; a quiet strength and a new perspective. Thank you Temple Pilots for this amazing experience. I would wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone who truly wishes to feel what it means to fly. Paragliding isn’t just about learning how to fly, it’s a lot about learning how to trust. Trust the wind, the glider, and most importantly, yourself. The moment you get your feet above the ground, everything slows down. You become completely present. For me, it felt much like unfolding a raga- intuitive, meditative, and deeply personal. The strong foundation came from the in-depth ground training and simulations at the base. Understanding the controls, repeating drills, and practicing responses didn’t just build skill, it built muscle memory and confidence. By the time we were in the air, it wasn't unfamiliar; it felt natural. And honestly, once I was up there, I didn’t want to come down. There was a stillness, a freedom, like finding a sur that wants to linger, and not wanting to let go of it. A huge part of this journey was shaped by Avi Sir and Anita, whose encouragement kept pushing us forward. The steady and patient guidance from Vinayak Sir, Sagar Sir, Pravin Sir, Mihir, Rohit Sir, and Yuvi made the entire process feel safe, structured, and grounded. A special thanks as well to Neenad Sir, Shriya, and Arshi for making the booking and coordination so smooth. Beyond flying, it was the little things; comforting and hot meals by Hari bhaiyya, the restful stay, and the space to pause and recharge, made the experience whole. And finally, the people. Meeting such wonderful individuals, sharing this journey, cheering each other on, and slowly becoming friends, that’s something I’ll truly cherish. The laughter, conversations, and shared excitement every day made this more than just a course; it became a beautiful collective experience. I went to learn paragliding. And I left with a sense of freedom I’ll carry forward. And I already know this is just the beginning, I can’t wait to return next season and continue with P2.

★★★★★ A place where you start appreciating the dedication and minute details that the instructors takes care to make you fulfill your dreams. A warm Family welcome on Day 1 where they understands your curiosity to Fly in the Air. They listen to you Patiently , understand and then give suggestions , a place where they make you respect the Nature , Colleagues , Equipment and a self belief that yes you can do it. I think they are not making you Pilots but a better Human Being who once Airborne automatically becomes an amazing rock solid Pilot. I have never felt so humbled before , tears rolling from my eyes , cry out aloud , mixed emotions when I did my first Solo wanted to hug all my Instructors for making this possible. If you want to become a Pilot and is ready to sacrifice your comfort zone then this is the only place I know to come , you will love every minute being here. Learn like a Kid fly like a Pro.

★★★★★ I opted for the instructional course at Temple Pilots, and it turned out to be an amazing experience—largely because of my Tandem pilot, Sagar. Sagar was calm, highly skilled, and extremely reassuring throughout the training. His instructions were clear and easy to follow, which made the entire experience smooth. What truly stood out was how he constantly encouraged me and kept checking if I was okay—instilling confidence in me at every step. Because of Sagar, I gained confidence in flying. His encouragement made a huge difference in my overall experience. I will definitely be back for further courses, and that decision is strongly encouraged by Sagar!

★★★★★ In the 18 years that I have been alive, I grew up thinking I had to be the best, I had to outperform, I had to be someone else to be accepted. It required me to always be on my feet to ensure I was better. I had to think about and overanalyse every action and reaction. It is how I taught myself to be. As a 12th grader at Sparkling Mindz Global School, both my mentors Sreeja Ma'am and Happy Sir have brought me many opportunities to help me discover myself and find learning in every and all possibilities. Coming to Temple Pilots with my school mentor(Minesh Happy) and peers(Adwaith Sai SR, Archita Anish, Karyhikeya Ravoor, Madhvik Dushyanth, Nikhil Varma) was one of the most transforming experiences and opportunities. I'm learning and practicing something that will last forever. I'm learning to go beyond my fear of heights, fear of not having control, and the struggle of overthinking and over-analysing. On the day and time of our arrival we were welcomed with authentic, genuine and expressive conversations with a variety of people, including Avi and Anita. It is a growing and budding relationshion that has now grown to be a space where we are now, I feel open, safe, guided and and part of a community. While I thought I feared the heights, just coming down in the sky with the wind on my face, the view in my eyes, the glider around and over me and my instructor in my ear, I suddenly thought I could conquer the world. Don't get me wrong, its not easy and its not for everyone. It requires ownership and accountability of ones own actions because in all ways your life is in your hands. It requires reflection and empathy because you are bound to make mistakes and to learn you need to look back and see things for what they are and see you for who you are. Most importantly, it requires you to have the intent to be free and enjoy, to let yourself learn from scratch. None of this would have been possible without the Temple Pilots team and their patience, support and lovely food. I'm going to be coming back here time and again, and maybe, just maybe you can too. I would definitely recommened this to you If you want to discover different aspects of yourself. If you want to find a community where you can belong, be yourself and challenge yourself. If you want to have some fun. I'm looking forward to more such wonders. Thank you Anita, Avi and the entire Temple Pilots team.
