Parahawking
Flying in the Himalayas with birds of prey
Flying in the Himalayas with birds of prey
In an effort to advance the interaction between man and bird, and to provide a unique opportunity to interact with birds of prey in their own environment, Scott Mason conceived Parahawking. Parahawking is paragliding with trained birds of prey. By combining ancient falconry methods with the modern techniques of Paragliding, birds of prey are trained to fly and interact with paragliders and to guide them to thermals. Some birds of prey are natural soaring birds that have an amazing ability to conserve energy whilst flying.
