It was a great experience, real taste of Bulgaria from best guide of the country Atanas. Para glider provided most amazing views over the mountains and the atv tours for the advanced rider really made me sweat. Atanas really knows every corner of the area and surrounding villages, you can ask him about best restaurant and attractions. 10/10, don't hesitate and trust professional with most expierience in the field.

Most of us had travelled all over the world and done paragliding and horse riding before but these experiences with Atanas were the best.
When you do an extreme sport you need someone who you can trust with your life, with Atanas I did. During the activities his only interest was our pleasure and safety. We were a group with mixed abilities and he understood our needs and accommodated them so that we all had an exciting experience.
Not only does he know the terrain but the geology and history of region. He understands people, horses and the elements better than anyone in this profession.
Thank you so much for everything you did for us. We hope to come again and again.

Atanas was the sweetest man I have ever come across. He took me from Sofia airport and we went directly to paragliding. After we went to dinner and he dropped me at my hotel for the night. He came to get me in the morning, exactly at 10am like he said. Our day adventure began with quad riding. He's an excellent teacher and pushed me through my fears. After we had tea and a bite at his place (xtreme Bulgaria ) with his family. His wife was very sweet and his kids are so polite and social. We then went rock climbing. In the end he dropped me in Plovdiv. From beginning to end he was with me and flexible. All the activities were amazing but the best part was I really got a sense of what it's like to live in a village in Bulgaria. He had so much to share in his life. I really appreciate all the knowledge I've gained from my short time with him. Immediately when I reached Sofia I began to miss my new friend. Hope to see him and his family again one day.

Besides outdoor adventures tours, Atanas hosts volunteers at his farm as part of Help Exchange / WWOOF (Worldwide Opportunities on Organic Farms).
Guests get to stay in their own quaint farmhouse. Like other houses in Ivan Vazovo Village, it is built in the traditional Bulgarian style, but with modern amenities---including internet access!
Here we spend several hours a day helping his wife Naska in the fruit and vegetable garden, doing things such as weeding, cutting hay, mulching and setting up vine supports.
Naska then includes the harvest in the meals that she often cooks for us in their home.
There's lots to see and do in the area. These include hiking up the surrounding hills. On top of one of these is a huge boulder formation (I couldn't tell if it was natural or made by an ancient civilization).
We also went swimming and fishing in a nearby stream.
For a change of scenery, visitors can take the local train to Karlovo, a charming town at the foothill of a mountain range.
And in the other direction is the city of Plovdiv with its cafes, discos, shops, traditional architecture and Roman ruins.
Ivan Vazovo Village would be a nice place to settle and live. Indeed, that is exactly what several outsiders have done.

We have met with Atanas several times and paraglided with him at a couple of locations, Lift Sopot, being the last occasion.
He is very good at judging how the passenger feels and pulls a few sharp turns if you’re comfortable with the flight.
Our first flight with him he took both my children up together and they really enjoyed themselves! More recently me and my Son have flown and Atanas is very understanding with the younger flyers! Very recommendable and a brilliant time had every time!

paragliding is amazing, but with atanas it is better.
At the beginning he wants to understand the guess. He is skeptical, in fact he wants to know how much you want to prove. At the end it will be the safer and more extreme exprerience you have ever tried.
Also because of the way Atanas manage to live is life. You can fell it.
Wish can came back one day for new adventures.

My husband rode an ATV with Atanas. It was a memorable experience - truly breathtaking. The service was perfect. The owner of the company is not only a true professional but he's also an expiring person. If you are an adrenaline junkie who is eager to explore the hidden beauties of Bulgaria, you most definately must visit Extreme!

I was traveling around the world for more than 20 years, across four continents, but never came across such a fantastic trip that arrange by xBul, or Mr Nasco.
The initial plan was to go for a trip with horse Riding for five days, but before we start the journey, the instructor suggested to go for a paragliding, and we did, the jump was amazing, view of mountains around which an artist can't draw the picture, but can be seen with your eyes. Give a try without any hesitation, go, just do it!
We started the journey of horse riding in Karlovo with total of five horses, and five different locations, in the forest on the mountains.
I can't express enough to what we saw during our trip, this can be a life experience which comes across very rare, and we were fortunate.
Central Balkan National Park is a huge place to cross by walk, I would do repeat the experience again when time permits, because one time to this place won't stop the thirst of more adventures.
We also tried the Quads around the countryside, many things to explore in this short time, epically when you are influenced by a real extreme driven personnel.
Thank you for your spirit

Hi! Is this still available in autumn? I’ll be in Plovdiv this weekend if you have options spontaneously 🤗
Written October 27, 2022
I don't know how much "you want" to pay to do paragliding but in Bulgaria the price is about 50eu for a tandem flight from around 1300m above see level.
That price don't include transport cost, lift's tax, video recording and etc.
