About 70 athletes from 10 countries are expected to participate. The festival program includes paragliding competitions, aerial shows, a gastronomic exhibition, and musical performances.
The organizers hope that the event will enhance Urgut district's attractiveness for tourists and help attract more extreme sports enthusiasts to Uzbekistan.
Paraplanerism is an extreme sport and active recreation related to paragliding. Unlike a parachute, a paraplane allows you not only to descend, but also to plan, gain altitude with the help of rising air currents, and control the direction of flight.
