Parahawking - The Movie

 

Nestled in the heart of Nepal's foothills, and set against the backdrop of the majestic Himalayas, the city of Pokhara has played host to the evolution of a remarkable story.

 

In the spring of 2001, Adam Hill, owner of Sunrise Paragliding, had an unexpected meeting with Scott Mason, a falconer from England.

 

In a charming twist of fate, their passions became intertwined. Together they embarked on an adventurous project to train birds of prey to fly with paragliders. Agreeing to exchange their knowledge, Adam and Scott set about learning their new trades. The two Black kites that were fortunately aquired were to become the focus of their ambitions for the next two years.

 

By using the traditional methods of the ancient sport of Falconry and the modern techniques of Paragliding, Adam and Scott conceived and developed the concept of 'Parahawking'. Their ultimate goal was to train their two birds to mark out thermals for them, and accompany them on cross country flights.

 

This is an account of their adventure into the unknown, and of the stunning landscapes, cultures and people of Nepal.
