It is a take off that most of us would not like to attempt. But once airborne the feeling takes a U-turn and one would feel reluctant to make a touch down. Such is the level of excitement and passion involved in the adventure sport of paragliding, and the event jointly organized by Adventure Sports and Sustainable Tourism Academy (AASTA) and Kerala Tourism at Wagamon, in the first week of April underscored this fact.

International Paragliding Festival, the four-day event is indeed a crowd puller and many from far off places reached Kolahalmedu in Vagamon to witness the advennture sport, which is gaining popularity in Kerala.
