One of the main goals of our expedition is to fly over those, for the Western world unexplored valleys by paragliders to get an unique aerial view over those valleys below.

Will Palmer is our experienced pilot, pushing over 6500m of altitude and long distance flights over 100km a day, earning him a place under the Top 50 worldwide pilots of the online Leonardo cross-country league in 2011. His experience of mountain flights within Afghanistan, Panjshir District as well as Tajikistan´s Pamir close to Wakhan Corridor, his connections to locals and officials as well as his filming skills from his unique aerial perspective by paragliding with low cost and low impact style perfectly fits into our expedition and makes him a very important team member, contributing to our documentary.
