Paraglide over stunning Bu Hill 🪂
Swap the bustling streets of Hanoi for the open skies with a paragliding adventure over Bu Hill. Only 40 km from the center of Hanoi, Bu Hill is located on the border between Chuong My district, Hanoi, and Luong Son district, Hoa Binh. It has a beautiful mountain range with gentle slopes with a length of about 1.5 km. Every late autumn, from November onwards, the weather is cool and a bit chilly, the reeds growing on the hillsides will bloom, creating a beautiful scene like in the movie. In recent years, Bu Hill has become a favorite destination for young Vietnamese people who love to experience, go camping, picnic, or even paragliding. Thanks to the spacious landscape, still unspoiled, Bu Hill is also an ideal photography spot.This isn't just a flight; it's a chance to experience the Vietnamese landscape in a completely unique way. Imagine soaring over gentle slopes and vibrant green hills, all under the watchful eye of experienced paragliders. They'll ensure you're safe and having a blast, whether you're a seasoned adrenaline junkie or a first-time flyer. And the best part? You'll have incredible photos and videos to prove you took to the Vietnamese skies.What to ExpectSoar over the picturesque Bu Hill just outside of Hanoi.Enjoy a 15 to 20-minute paragliding flight, depending on the day's weather conditions and your health.Take in breathtaking aerial views of the Vietnamese countryside.Benefit from the expertise and guidance of professional paragliders who prioritize your safety.Receive complimentary photos and videos of your flight to remember the experience.Conditions for passengers participating in the flight:Not pregnant;No cardiovascular issues;No ongoing treatment for bone/joint diseases or high blood pressure;No pathological fear of heights;No history of neurological disorders or seizures;No alcohol, beer, or stimulants used before takeoff;Paragliding is an extreme sport; please see additional details about health conditions and liability waivers for paragliding participation here: link.NotesYou can bring a small bag (1-2 kg) containing personal items such as your phone, keys, and identification documents during the flight.Avoid carrying large, heavy luggage; otherwise, it will need to be left at the foot of the mountain.Passengers should have at least 4GB of free storage on their phones to download photos and videos after the flight.At the take-off and landing areas, for flight safety, passengers who have not yet flown or have already flown should not approach the flight area.

If going by Grab, around how long would it take to get there and how much would it cost? Also, is it easy to find a Grab willing to go to Bu Hill and going back? Thanks!

Micah, 20 Oct 2024

It's very difficult to book a Grab because the flight point is in the suburbs. When Grab takes you there, they often won't have passengers to take them back.

If we choose to have the round trip add-on to/from Hanoi, where would the ride meet/drop us off?

Hello! Meeting point will be at BigC Thang Long (222 Tran Duy Hung)

Hi, I'm keen to sign up for the paragliding activity in Hanoi. Is it possible for me to bring my 10 year old child along if she's not taking part in the activity? Can she wait for me at the landing area?
