Launch from the 500 m ridge of Beshbarmag and glide along the Caspian coast in a tandem paraglider. This half-day excursion from Baku includes transfers, safety gear, and pro instruction for an 8–15 minute flight over a striking coastal monolith.
More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You step onto a wind-scoured ledge at 500 m and the Caspian Sea sprawls to the east like a slow-moving mirror. The wing fills, the instructor checks lines, and for a handful of minutes the shoreline, low scrub, and the ragged profile of Beshbarmag fall away beneath you. The air pushes and steadies you; the mountain’s craggy “five-finger” ridge seems almost to reach back up.
