Get ready to look up, Dehradun — because Uttarakhand’s skies are about to turn into a live adventure spectacle. This January, the Tehri International Acro Festival & SIV Competition 2026 is set to bring world-class paragliding pilots to the heart of the Garhwal Himalayas, transforming Tehri Lake into one of the most thrilling aerial arenas in the country.
Set against the dramatic backdrop of snow-kissed mountains and the shimmering blue waters of Tehri Lake, the festival promises four days of pure adrenaline and visual magic. From gravity-defying acrobatic paragliding routines to highly technical SIV (Simulation d’Incident en Vol) maneuvers, spectators will witness pilots pushing the limits of skill, precision and courage — all while dancing with the wind high above the lake.
But this isn’t just a competition for aviation enthusiasts. The event is designed as an immersive experience for everyone who loves adventure, nature and stories of human daring. Each flight is a reminder of freedom, focus and the deep connection between pilots and the mountains they soar over. For viewers on the ground, it’s a rare chance to watch international-level aerial sports unfold in one of Uttarakhand’s most scenic locations.
Hosted at GMVN Resorts, Koti Colony, New Tehri, from 27th to 30th January 2026, the festival also reinforces Uttarakhand’s growing reputation as a global hub for adventure tourism. With Tehri already known for water sports, paragliding and outdoor experiences, this international event places the state firmly on the world map for high-adrenaline travel.
So whether you’re an adventure junkie, a travel lover, or simply someone who enjoys breathtaking sights, mark your calendar. When the mountains frame the horizon, the lake mirrors the sky, and colourful wings fill the air, Tehri won’t just be hosting an event — it will be telling a powerful story of flight, passion and fearless dreams.
