You can enjoy Paragliding in any time of the year except Monsoon. There are two types of paragliding here. One is at lower height and the other is from the top of the hill.

There are so many parachutes, so usually you don't have to wait for your turn. 

A guide comes with you to drive the parachute. If feels really amazing, as you can see the birds flying along with you. You can see the beautiful green mountains below you. If you visit this place in winter or just after winter, these mountains are almost covered by the snow.

Zorbing Ball
Zorbing is a giant semitransparent ball with room for 2 people which is rolled down about 200 meter height. You have to pay around 100 to 200 INR per person, but it all depends on your bargaining skills. They tie you with the inner wall of the ball, and then leave the ball for rolling it down. You get so much fun in this one, as you would like to go for it again and again.
