| takeoff | The takeoff is motorable about 7 kms of off road driving will take you 2000feet high. From the point of parking your car takeoff is about 10 minutes walking distance. The takeoff area is big but a rocky. The place is isolated and forested so not suitable for venturing out alone. |
|---|---|
| landing | There are plenty of landing options in gliding distance. You can choose an area close to the road and make your landing approcah. |
| weather | No known weather hazards. Flyable only in morning. The area is forested, isolated and has wild cats. Not suitable to fly without local support. |
| rules | None as of now except using common sense of not disturbing the forest, people and culture or the region. |
| access | Best option is to contact www.spaceapple.com. The location is 60kms northwest of Mumbai airport. Drive on NH8 and take a right turn for Vajreshwari. Ask for Parol phata. half a km before parol phata is the dirt road which will take you to top of Tungareshwar. This dirt tract is maintained by Balyagi Sadanand Maharaj ashram trust. |
| comments | Good site for flying close to Mumbai. The height difference provides a 15 minute flight to anyone who takeoff with his paraglider. This is a morning site and takes easterly winds. It is forested without much barren ridge top to give ridge lift. Newly found site which needs to be explored. |
