What makes this experience unique?
From Hà Nội, you leave the dense urban area and reach Đồi Bù, an isolated high point with open fields and a wide valley below, surrounded by rolling hills and very few large obstacles, allowing wind to move directly up the slope. Standing at the takeoff point, you can see the open drop and steep incline ahead, and after just a few steps, the wing fills and lifts you off the ground. As you move away from the hillside, the terrain below spreads into patches of farmland, narrow paths, and scattered houses shrinking quickly with height. The wind shifts constantly due to the open landscape—sometimes lifting smoothly, other times dropping suddenly, tightening the harness against your body. The pilot behind you speaks little, focusing on reading how the wind rises from the base of the hill to maintain balance and decide when to land. You are not just flying—you are directly feeling how your body depends on wind, slope, and exposed space, with every small change in the air affecting you in real time.
What you'll get to experience with us
Located about 35 km from the center of Hanoi, Doi Bu (Nui Be hamlet, Nam Phuong Tien commune, Chuong My district) is an ideal destination for those who love the thrill of soaring with the wind and admiring the majestic mountains. This place used to be a lush green grassland, later becoming famous for paragliding activities thanks to its gentle terrain and favorable wind conditions. Immerse yourself in the sun, wind, and clouds of the Muong land - feel the freedom and the exhilarating moments when flying in the sky of Vien Nam - Hoa Binh.
