Sounds tremendous for the experienced

Hi
I am writing to you in your capacity as BHPA club contacts. Please would you let your club members know the below through their relevant forum etc.
Many thanks and looking forward to this week/ends flying in the uk.

Dates for our 2 Himalayanskysafaris trips have now been finalised, and this year we are running a dedicated VOL BIV tour, suitable for adventurous experienced pilots.

The first Himalayan tour (16 - 25th Oct ) will be, as normal, based in Bir, with probably 1 night at Dahramsala and 1 at a supported camp.
We have run this tour for the last 8 years, and it packs enough amazing flying and inspiring locations, that some pilots have flown it for 3 continuous seasons.

However, The 2nd TOUR (27th Oct - 5th Nov) will be new .

Having now top landed/bivvied at enough suitable and stunning locations, with good acceptable mountain take-offs and landings, we feel ready to incorporate some of the better of these special places into a tour. It will be starting and finishing at Bir (and probably a few pit stops too for hot showers and JP's luxurious cuisine!), but will involve more bivi's/camps/overnight stays high in the mountains in interesting locations, sometimes hotels, sometimes temple floors or shepherds huts or just a camp fire and cave.

The top landings are carefully chosen and are mostly flat zones on slopes or rounded summits, from approx 2000m, up to 3300m and are uniquely near Temples in the Clouds.

This tour will only be open for the more experienced 1:1, and maybe 2:1 pilots, but with our big line up of top himalayan pilots as guides, this could still be a very sociable adventure, and open to massive flexibility.

And, as always, we will still be including the luxuorious accomodation at JP's as part of the package price, so that we don't have to stay out in the wilds for the whole 10 days/at all if we don't want to. The prices are the same for both tours, so you will be able to adapt the 'temple tour' into our standard tour with absolute ease, and at no extra cost. You may even want to graduate from a standard to a Temple tour which can be done at a 10% discount on the second tour.

After all Flexibility is what we are good at. It's an inevitable development after 70 + years of paragliding professionally.

The Guides for 2014 are:
Antoine Laurens
Debu Choudhary
Dean Crosby...and of course
Eddie Colfox
John Silvester
