Hi, I’m Benjamin Kellett, but you can call me Ben.

Originally from the UK, I now spend most of my year split between Queenstown, New Zealand, and the European Alps. When I’m not flying tandem paragliders for a living, I’m on solo adventures, seeking out remote and untouched mountain lines to share with the world. I've been exploring the skies for over 10 years now, and in that time, paragliding has become more than just a sport, it’s a way for me to connect with some of the most remote and breathtaking places on the planet. From soaring over endless peaks in Pakistan's Karakoram to camping beneath the stars in New Zealand’s rugged Southern Alps, every flight is a new chapter in a story of adventure, discovery, and freedom.

What makes my journey unique is my focus on flying and camping, using paragliding to access extremely remote, hard-to-reach places that many people don’t get to experience. Flying to these locations allows me to land in untouched terrain, set up camp, and truly immerse myself in the wild. Each adventure brings with it the thrill of exploring landscapes that most only dream of reaching, while carrying everything I need for survival on my back. Every flight is a blend of adrenaline, awe, and tranquility, offering a rare opportunity to experience nature's vastness from a perspective few will ever see. mix of adrenaline, wonder, and pure freedom. These moments remind me why I fell in love with flying in the first place, it’s not just about the view, but the feeling of being completely immersed in nature.

But I think I’m more than just a pilot, I’m also someone who loves sharing these experiences with others because I believe adventure is better when it’s shared. Documenting my flights allows me to connect with others who share the same curiosity and love for the outdoors, while inspiring those who dream of exploring new horizons themselves. Whether it’s a scenic glide or an intense backcountry route, I want to show that these moments are not just possible, but accessible to anyone willing to chase their own adventure. Whether through videos, photos, or stories, my goal is to bring you along for the journey and hopefully inspire you to seek out your own adventures.

Why I Share My Adventures

I started documenting my flying journeys to share the unique perspective that paragliding offers, a gateway to breathtaking, remote areas that would otherwise take days of effort to reach. Flying isn’t just a means of travel, it’s a tool for discovery. It pushes you beyond your limits, rewards you with unmatched beauty, and fosters connections with both the landscapes and people you encounter along the way.

Through my videos and content, I aim to capture the highs, the lows, and everything in between, the decision-making, the emotional rollercoasters, and the sheer joy of flying. I want to share both the polished and unpolished moments because that’s where the real magic happens.

Join the Journey

Whether you’re a fellow paraglider, an adventure enthusiast, or someone who just loves watching epic scenic flights, I’m stoked to have you here. Follow along as I explore new flying lines, dive into the unexpected, and continue the lifelong journey of chasing altitude and adventure.
