Parasailing, also known as parascending or parakiting, is a recreational water sport in which a person is towed behind a boat while attached to a parachute-like canopy called a parasail. The person is suspended from the parasail and rises into the air as the boat moves forward, providing a unique and exhilarating experience. Parasailing is a popular activity at many beach and lake resorts in India. Participants typically take off from a platform or a boat, and the parasail is then attached to the boat via a long tow rope. The boat drives forward, pulling the parasail and the person into the air.
