Booking an adventure activity online can feel like shouting into a void: you fill a form, you get a confirmation, and then you wonder whether anyone is actually expecting you. Here is exactly what happens between hitting confirm and standing on the field at Loni Kalbhor.
Step one: choose the package, not just the date
The packages differ mainly in airtime and what is bundled with the flight. As currently listed, the Standard Flight starts at ₹3,499 per person, the Tandem Adventure at ₹4,499, and the Premium Flight — which adds extended flight time and GoPro footage — at ₹5,499. Live prices and availability are shown on the booking page, so treat those as the reference rather than any number you read elsewhere.
If you are booking for a group, pick the package first and the slot second. Groups take longer to move through gear-up, and the crew plans the window around that.
Step two: the details that actually get used
- Number of passengers — this sets how many launch windows the crew reserves.
- Weight per passenger — the typical range is about 25 kg to 100 kg and it affects wing and trim selection.
- Contact number — slot changes and weather updates go here, so give a number you will answer.
- Preferred date and time — morning and evening windows are the usual flying slots.
Step three: confirmation and meeting point
Once your booking is in, the crew confirms the slot and shares exact meeting-point guidance. The venue is at Haveli, Loni Kalbhor, Pune, Maharashtra 412201, on the eastern side of the city — commonly reached from Hadapsar, Magarpatta and Kharadi. Travel time depends on traffic and where you start, so leave more margin than a maps estimate suggests on a weekend morning.
Advance booking is recommended, especially for weekends, birthdays and corporate groups. Same-day slots may be available when the weather allows, but they are not something to build a plan around.
Step four: the day itself
Arrive about 30 minutes before your slot. Wear comfortable clothing and closed shoes — this is a working field, not a lounge. Helmet and harness are provided. Every flight is tandem with a certified pilot, and there is a safety briefing before take-off covering the small handful of things you actually do yourself.
Total venue time is longer than airtime. Budget for the briefing, gear-up and waiting for a safe window.
What can still change after confirmation
One thing: the weather. Flights may be rescheduled when wind, rain or visibility make flying unsafe. If that happens you are contacted with the next available window rather than left standing on a field. Confirm on the day before you set out from Pune.
Eligibility, plainly
- No previous flying experience is required — you fly tandem with a certified pilot.
- Typical weight range is about 25 kg to 100 kg; confirm if you are close to either end.
- Flying is not recommended during pregnancy.
- Passengers who have consumed alcohol will not be flown.
- Consult a doctor first if you have a serious medical condition.
For group or corporate outing quotes, use the corporate enquiry form or message the Pune team directly. Paramotoring is an adventure activity: certified pilots, checked equipment and a proper briefing reduce risk, but no adventure sport is risk-free, and we say that up front.
