Descripción del despegue
Mt. Abu :-It is about 280 Km. from Jodhpur towards the South, 4500 feet AGL, there is a launch place facing the SW near the Honeymoon point near the “Bailey’s track†there is a good clear rock with no vegetation it is ideal for a PG and hence very good for a HG. Thermals are very strong here I have flown my PG and HG here.For NE winds during winter (from October to Feb) the Launch place is near 'Guru shikhar' but this launch point is bit tricky and the one needs permission from the Radar authorities, the LZ is near Abu Road, I have not flown here during the winter season so I can not tell you much but My. Instructor has done an XC flight from there and he had a blast as he told me.A word of caution here:- Since the launch point is located near the 'Honeymoon point' on the Bailey's track which is located at a secluded place it is better one flies here with a group or has some people to assist him, there have been instances where people were robbed by the local tribesman...
Reglas / notas
Paragliding is a non regulated sport in India and there are very few sites where one needs permission to fly... One can not fly here without the permission from the SDM Mount Abu or the CO at the airforce station but it's a pitty that the even the authorities have no clear idea about how to give the permission and they have been embarrassed when a pilot approaches then, I say this to avoid you a wasted trip. This site has the best potential for a flatland XC flight and it's a pitty that this site has not clear set of rules. I am working my way and hope to do something about it.
