Paragliding Sports Enthusiasts in the Highlands of Takengon

Hi steemit lovers !
Are you really one of those people who are afraid of heights?

Paragliding is one of the free-fall sport by using a parachute wing that can be controlled by the user or sports enthusiast on this one. Knowing the height is not enough to just climb the mountain but can also be applied with paragliding sport. Paragliders are usually often in the title on the slope of the mountain that has a height of 1.5-2 thousand feet.
Takengon-aceh is one of the most frequent tourist areas visited by tourists for traveling. This city is a city that is in the mountain with skyscrapers and beautiful tourist spots and most coffee producers, so the city is nicknamed with the name of the country on the clouds.
But what about paragliding activities that become an annual activity in this area?

Every year the paragliding enthusiasts are always waiting for this paragliding sport event and usually in the title on the anniversary of the city takengon alias country on the clouds.
Paragliders are usually made on mountain slopes or mountain tops that have easy access to in and out of vehicles.
Warm air and sunny weather are the ideal conditions for paragliding sporting activities, when the sun's rays can heat the land for long periods of time so that the air around the area rises. The hot air becomes lighter so it flows upwards and can be utilized by the users to lift the knee parachute up into the air. Air currents like that are often found in areas with mountains that are overgrown with trees or plants.
Some important components in paragliding sport are paragliding parachute itself, saddle / harness, backup parachute, carabiner, helmet, speedometer, various communication and navigation equipment such as radio, GPS, altimeter, and Variometer. Additional equipment such as protective pads, cockpit, and special clothing can also be used to help maximize the comfort and safety of the flight. Note that all the additional equipment weighs only between 15 s / d 20 kg so that pilots (athletes paragliding) can still have the mobility needed to be able to do flight according to the route and the desired length of time.
Beginners for this activity are usually provided guards or guides to control in free fall flight.
Not only Indonesian society but foreigners or abroad are also very interested in traveling in the area. A year ago I also met a tourist who came from Germany in the city takengon, Incidentally at that time the foreigners want to explore places where attractions in takengon. He is also one of the paragliding sports fans.

For those of you who want to visit and love the activities that exist in this tourist spot can be explored immediately, be careful on your journey due to many sharp turns in the mountains when heading to the country above the clouds.
Enjoy the journey for those who want to travel, hopefully useful.
