My name is Max Dubowskis.
I'm from Latvia.
I'm a professional programmer with more passion for traveling and paragliding than sitting
in the front of the computer.
I came to India to escape the cold back home.
Going with Darwin in Tropical Goa had been a lot of fun for me.
But the flying possibilities there were very limited.
So I decided to join forces with him and we both had north to a place he had heard about
in the neighboring state of Maharashtra.
We stayed at Iko Camp.
This place was used by most paraglider pilots as we could take off just meters from our
tent.
The flying here is incredible.
We would often get what in Russian is known as the milk when the whole valley floor lifts
in the smooth even floor.
Time is making coming down more difficult than staying up.
And on such occasions we would sometimes fly out to the lake for a quick dip and some
chat with the locals.
In a while on top, Mike was having his own kind of fun.
When the wind did not favor flying from camp, we could take a short drive to fly at Tapas.
Tapas is a site with stronger lift and the possibility of longer flights.
Thanks for watching.
