Summary:
This was one of the best experiences we’ve had in our lives! Paragliding down the valley in between the lakes surrounding interlocking, was absolutely extraordinary, and a scene that is etched in my mind. Our guides, Luke and Krisha, were amazing, made the experience smooth, fun, and educational. We felt very blessed by the experience and it was a fun and easy process to get there!
