Takeoff description
Small land near the school. Enough for one glider at at time, perhaps two. It can get windy so it can be a bit of a rough take off, but generally easy.
Pilot comments
Small soaring site which we prefer to fly by going over the back of Sarangkot. It is on the route for many cross country flights to the North at the foot of the Annapurnas.
