Do you know In Nepal, there are trained birds that will fly with you as you go Parahawking.
Have you ever done Parahawking or Paragliding , or is it in your bucket list to do in 2017 ? It is amazing to fly in sky like a bird with the breathtaking bird's view of the nature including lake and the mountains.
Info about Birds, referred from their website parahawking.com -
" All of our birds are rescue birds. This means that our birds came to us because they were found injured, orphaned or sometimes kept as pets in small cages. As part of the Himalayan Raptor Rescue project, we rescue many birds each year which we can successfully rehabilitate and return to the wild. Birds that are brought to us when they are very young have to reared by us which means they become imprinted on humans. This makes it very difficult to return these birds back to the wild. These are the birds we train for Parahawking. Parahawking is an award winning project, it was voted Best Enrichment Behaviour by the International Association of Avian Trainers and Educators (IAATE) in 2011 "

Pretty cool! It was actually in my list when I went for a trip to an island in 2015 but didn't manage to do it because of the weather. I'd love to try though!
