The take off area is at 1400m ASL and it takes 30 minutes from HQ. Official landing zone is at 700m ASL which is a stadium and also very close to HQ with walking distance.
The flying season start from November to March when the farmers harvest the rices and weather getting dry thanks to South West wind and high moutain ridge block all the moisture from the North.
The cloudbase varies from 2500m to 3000m, sometimes could be 3500m. Pilot can make 100km out and return or triangle. The site record now is 110km triangle.
Sunlight time usually long as 7 to 10hours.

Landing is not troublesome as along the ridge is big valley of rice terrances or tea fields and easy to go to the main road also along the ridge.
