AN ADVENTURE DOCUMENTARY BY REDBULL
PARAGLIDING IN THE HIMALAYAS

Red Bull has released an amazing adventure documentary, Higher Ground: Paragliding in the Himalayas, featuring two athletes from the world of paragliding – Thomas de Dorlodot and Horacio Llorens.

Crew Members:

Director: Benoit Delfosse

Cameraman & Drone Pilot: Imbaud Veraeghen

Photographer: John Stapels

Liaison Specialist: Pinot (Prithviraj Prabhakar)

Late October 2019, along with a small crew, Thomas & Horacio traversed the stark North Indian landscape nestled in the Himalayas. The entire experience and journey were captured on camera and it’s here for the world to see. Horacio Llorens and Thomas de Dorlodot visited India for a great adventure across the Himalayan mountains. The European paragliders made several unassisted flights through Himachal Pradesh, starting with BirBilling and ending with several flight loops over Spiti Valley. En route, they stopped at Manali, flew over the Rohtang Pass, and took a break at Keylong.

On this journey of about 350 kilometers, they achieved their target of traveling across some of the least visited destinations in their sport, camped on mountain tops, became the first paragliders to fly over Rohtang Pass, and battled rough weather to do the first-ever 6,200-metre flight over Spiti Valley. Since the flying was done without oxygen cylinders, the paragliders also made sure not to fly too high and took all the necessary safety precautions.

What do you love most about Paragliding?

Horacio Llorens- I love the freedom of flying. There is nothing that can compare to taking a few steps off the top of a mountain and flying high above the clouds, like a bird.

Dried and Dusted

The West Bengal state of India has always been known for its rich culture and diversity. This innate taste and style is reflected in their dishes too. Their cuisine is essentially. A lot of its flavours and masala mixes have been handed down from over a thousand years and Bengalis to this day retain those recipes which make them truly “shonar Bangla” dishes.
