Launch from Bayanzurkh Mountain with an internationally qualified tandem pilot and glide above Ulaanbaatar for 10–15 minutes of flight. This private experience includes pick-up, safety briefing, and a 4x4 transfer to the takeoff zone.

You stand at the lip of the ridge as the city falls away beneath you: a 4x4 settles, the pilot tightens straps, and the wind teases the canopy overhead. On Bayanzurkh Mountain the moment between running and lift is brief but electric — the slope gives, the glider fills, and Ulaanbaatar spreads out like a map below while forests and rivers pull at the edges of your view.
