Going on adventures is a priority for some people whenever they travel. These risk-takers do not mind spending their money in exchange for unforgettable experiences.
This scenario is no different from the many who flocked Kwahu to enjoy the Easter festivities.
On the Odweanoma Mountain, where the paragliding field is located, both Ghanaians and foreigners visit the site for various reasons.
For those who love to try something new or are adventurous, paragliding is a popular choice, and this year’s cost is GH¢1,350.
This amount is paid by both Ghanaians and non-Ghanaians alike.
In an exclusive interview with GhanaWeb’s Ernestina Serwaa Asante, the Director of Corporate Affairs at the Ghana Tourism Authority, Jones Aruna Nelson, stated that the price is the cheapest in the world.
Jones Aruna Nelson said; “So, this year we are taking GH¢1,350. It can be equated to $85. Elsewhere in any country, you cannot get it for less than $200. So, this one is very affordable, and that is not the only thing you have to pay.”
“When you land at the Nkawkaw Stadium, we give you a souvenir – a cap reading, ‘I Survived 2025 Paragliding,’ along with some water, a drink, and other items. It is all part of the package,” he stated.
Before one is cleared to experience paragliding, a health screening is conducted to ensure the person is fit for takeoff.
Additionally, the individual must weigh no more than 100 kilograms.
All gliders undergo mental preparation and are provided with helmets and radio phones so that pilots can communicate with them.
After all these procedures, they take off to enjoy breathtaking views and have unforgettable experiences.
