ESTABLISHED & ACCREDITED
India’s ACI-Accredited Paragliding School | DGCA-Approved Framework
OrangeLife Paragliding School, Kamshet
From One Pilot’s Vision to a Community in the Sky
OrangeLife Paragliding School was built on the vision of the late Vijay Soni — one of India’s pioneering cross-country pilots, an accomplished flying instructor and a passionate advocate for the growth of paragliding in India.
With nearly three decades of flying experience, over 10,000 hours in the air and more than 3,200 pilots trained, Vijay dedicated his life to flying, teaching and raising the standard of paragliding in India. He also served as the First Commissioner – Paragliding with the Aero Club of India, contributing to the development of the sport at a national level.But for Vijay, paragliding was never simply about getting into the air.
It was about understanding the sky, making sound decisions and becoming a better pilot with every flight.
Building Thinking Pilots Since 2013
That philosophy became the foundation of OrangeLife.
Today, our paragliding training in Kamshet is built around the same principle: we don't just teach you how to fly — we teach you how to become a pilot.
From your first ground-handling session to your first solo flight and eventually becoming an independent pilot, our training focuses on developing skills that stay with you throughout your flying journey.
You will learn glider control, launch and landing techniques, meteorology, flight planning, decision-making and safe flying practices, while progressively developing the confidence and judgement needed to fly independently.
Our training follows FAI guidelines, BHPA standards and the IPPI proficiency system, with a focus on safety, structured progression and developing confident, independent pilots.
Small Batches. Personalised Training.
Learning to paraglide requires attention, patience and individual feedback.
That is why we keep our paragliding courses in Kamshet deliberately small — with a maximum of 6 students and 2–3 instructors per batch.
This allows our instructors to work closely with every student, understand their individual progress and provide guidance throughout their training.
Whether you're looking for a beginner paragliding course, P1 + P2 training, P3 independent pilot training or further progression and airtime building, our goal remains the same:
To help you become a confident, capable and thinking pilot.

More Than a Paragliding School
Over the years, OrangeLife has grown from one pilot's vision into a community of students, instructors and independent pilots connected by a shared love for flying.
Vijay may no longer be with us, but his philosophy continues to guide OrangeLife.
We believe the best pilots aren't simply the ones who fly the farthest or highest.
They are the ones who understand the conditions, make good decisions and know when to fly — and when not to.
That is what OrangeLife stands for.
Come to Kamshet to experience paragliding.
Stay to learn how to fly.
Leave as a pilot.
VIJAY SONI - The Man behind Orangelife
India’s No.1 Paragliding Pilot
Vijay Soni was one of India’s most accomplished cross-country paragliding pilots, with 29 years of flying experience and over 10,000 hours in the air. For five consecutive years, he was ranked India’s No. 1 Cross-Country Pilot, establishing himself as a pioneer in Indian paragliding.
In 2000, Vijay became the first pilot in India to complete a 67 km cross-country flight in a single flight, an achievement recognised by Cross Country Magazine. In 2009, he made history again by becoming the first pilot in India to fly a 100 km FAI Triangle at Yelagiri, Tamil Nadu — a milestone recorded in the Limca Book of Records.
Vijay founded OrangeLife Paragliding School in Kamshet with a vision to raise the standard of paragliding training in India and help create safer, more skilled and independent pilots. Over his 27 years of teaching, he trained more than 3,200 pilots, passing on not just flying skills, but a deep understanding of safety, decision-making and the responsibility that comes with being a pilot.
His vision continues to guide OrangeLife today: to build thinking, confident and independent pilots while giving every student an unforgettable experience in the sky.
