Parahawking: Flying with the birds

British born Scott Mason stopped in Nepal on a round the world travel trip to try his hand at paragliding. There he had an idea of training birds of prey to fly with the paragliders so the passengers could get a first hand view of the birds in flight. Ten years later he runs a bird rescue centre, a guest house and parahawking trips for tourists visiting the picturesque town of Pokhara in central Nepal.
