Getting to the Doi Bu and Vien Nam flying sites

Two flying sites near Hanoi, in two different areas: Đồi Bù (Chương Mỹ) and Viên Nam, about 40–50 km from the city centre. Each has its own landing field (the meeting point) and its own take-off. Which one we fly depends on the wind that day — the team tells you the site and meeting time the evening before.

  • The road up to the take-off is a steep dirt track: guests go up by off-road vehicle (150,000 VND per guest). Please do not drive up yourself.
