Take-off description
Arambol(Goa). Walk along the beach north from Arambol. You pass the lakeside beach which is one of the landing zones. Cross the beach and climb the hill one the other side. There are numerous paths to the plateau on the top. There are many areas to launch from depending on the conditions. The launches can be a little difficult as the top is flat and you launch over a vertical cliff. Best not to mess it up. You can also walk right round the headland to Querim/Keri Beach which is also accessible by car. There are tracks to the top from there as well.
Getting there
You cannot drive to take off and will have to walk (see above). Take plenty of water and watch for monkeys!
Weather
Take care when cliff launching in stronger winds as there can be rotor behind take off. Also watch out for turbulence over larger rocks and trees when low flying.
