★★★★★ As an educator, I can say that the crew at Temple Pilot pays great attention to teaching. They are knowledgeable, kind, patient and allow you to progress step by step. There is a really nice vibe at the base and there are option to get your accomodation and food settled by them which makes it very convenient especially when you have to start super early in the morning. In terms of view,it's not as great as Europe with clear skies and gorgeous mountains but the price point is very affordable.
★★★★★ We’ve just completed the 20-day P3 course, plus two extra days flying with the Temple pilots, and it’s hard to put into words how special this time here has been for us. What makes this place unique is that the focus goes far beyond simply learning how to paraglide with a strong technical foundation and exceptionally high safety standards. The instructors also place a huge emphasis on mental skills confidence, decision-making, awareness, and trust in yourself. These are lessons we know we will carry with us not only in flying, but in our everyday lives. We couldn’t have wished for a better place to take this step in our paragliding journey. Thank you ❤️
★★★★★ Did a 4 day P1 course with Temple Pilots & absolutely enjoyed myself. What a thrilling experience!!! The vibe of Temple, the instructors, the other pilots, Avi & Anita (the founders) was surreal - everyone is warm, friendly, supportive and genuinely nice to be around. The home cooked food was super tasty & shared together every day as a team, an experience which took me way back. Loved my stay here & loved learning to fly solo for the first time. Absolutely coming back for more!!!
★★★★★ I did a 7-day course with Temple Pilots, and it was truly an amazing experience. The instructors are top-notch and genuinely care about your learning pace. There’s absolutely no pressure—they take the time to make sure you really understand what you’re doing, instead of just rushing you through the course. The stay feels just like home. Even though I was travelling solo, I never once felt alone. The overall vibe is warm, calm, and incredibly welcoming. The co-founders, Avi sir and Anita ma’am, are truly inspirational and create an environment that makes learning both comfortable and exciting. The food is delicious, and sharing meals and stories with everyone adds so much to the experience. Hearing others’ journeys and experiences teaches you a lot beyond just flying. I honestly had an unforgettable time and can’t wait to go back for more.
★★★★★ From start to finish, my paragliding journey with Temple Pilots was absolutely incredible! The instructors are highly skilled, patient, and passionate about what they do, which made me feel safe and confident throughout. The course was thoughtfully designed—well-structured, engaging, and perfect for beginners as well as those looking to advance their skills. Every session was a blend of learning and pure thrill! What truly sets them apart is the warmth and sense of belonging they create. Temple Pilots will always feel like home to me. If you’re looking for an adventure that combines professionalism, safety, and unforgettable memories, this is the place to be! Temple pilots is like a family now where i would return to always
