Charvak Tandem Paragliding: Practical Guide for First-Time Flights

Tandem paragliding in the Charvak-Chimgan corridor is one of the most visual active add-ons near Tashkent: reservoir views, mountain ridges, and short escape-from-city format in one day.

Where to go and what to tell drivers

Use this location phrase directly:

Charvak Paragliding Site, Uzbekistan

On the ground, ask hotel reception in Yusufkhona/Charvak resorts for same-day pilot contacts and active launch windows.

When to arrive

Treat tandem flying as weather-window activity, not a fixed museum slot.

Practical baseline:

arrive in the area around 10:30-11:00,
leave buffer for briefing, queue, and wind shifts,
keep a fallback lake/resort plan if flights pause.

Price range (snapshot)

Public pages show a broad corridor range:

around US$70 for short intro tandem format,
around 800,000 UZS for Charvak tandem package format,
longer/premium routes can cost more.

Use these as orientation numbers only. Final pricing depends on route length, weather, filming options, and same-day load.

Who this fits best

First-time tandem riders who want one strong visual memory day near Tashkent.
Travelers already going to Charvak/Chimgan and adding one active block.
Couples and small groups that can keep schedule flexibility.

Same-day workflow that usually works

Confirm weather go/no-go window in the morning.
Confirm exact meeting point and landing transfer.
Confirm what is included (flight duration, video/photo, insurance terms).
Pay only after flight format and included package are clear.

Common mistakes

Arriving too late and missing active launch window.
Planning rigid return/dinner with no delay buffer.
Assuming one fixed universal price across providers.
