Paraglider flies 200 kilometres, spends 6.5 hours in air; shares hilarious toilet hack in viral video

Kellett, a professional paraglider, recently took on the challenge of flying 200 kilometers. He started from Bir Billing in Himachal Pradesh, one of India’s top paragliding destinations.

The video opens with Kellett announcing, “Day one of trying to fly 200 km in India.” Once in the air, he films the scenic mountains below and gives a commentary. “Straight down the ridge, past Dharamshala. Turn around, come back,” he says in the video.

Throughout the flight, Kellett shares real-time updates on how many kilometres and minutes he’s covered, all while showcasing the stunning Himalayan landscape. At one point, he points to a familiar spot and casually tells a fellow flier, “Down there where we had chai.”

By the end of the video, Kellett gets his “mission accomplished” and says, “What a beautiful end of the day.”

Posting the video on Instagram, Kellett wrote, “After a 12 hour taxi ride back to Bir we got 5 hours sleep and decided to have a crack at the classic 200km flat triangle from Bir Billing. The conditions were amazing and was by far the easiest 200km I’ve ever flown, 6.5 hours. What an incredible place, can’t wait to go back!”
