Paragliding experience in Türkiye, be a happy bird

This time I came to Turkey🇹🇷, the most exciting thing for me was to experience paragliding in Fethiye. Although I was really nervous before going, after actually gliding, I felt that the whole process was very smooth, and there was no scary feeling of weightlessness at all. · 📖Booking If you don't arrive particularly late or have any special requirements for the coach, you can find a travel agency in the town or book directly at the hotel front desk after arriving in Fethiye. We booked it directly at the hotel, which is much cheaper than online. · 💰Price We negotiated a package price directly, including flight, photography, video shooting, 360 panoramic photos and free transportation. Normally, the all-inclusive price is around US$100. · 🕰️Time Generally, flights are divided into four periods, and we chose the morning one. Generally, taking pictures in the morning is better and the weather is more stable. It was cloudy on the day we went. After we flew in the morning, all the afternoon flights were cancelled. · ⭕Security Overall, I feel that paragliding is safer than skydiving or pig jumping. The most important thing is that if something goes wrong with the main parachute, there is a parachute-like secondary parachute that can leave a way out. · 🔁Process ✅We will pick you up at the hotel in the morning, and then take a car to the store on the beach. You will fill in some personal information here, make up the remaining balance, and then set off to go up the mountain. ✅Take a few dozen minutes' drive to the top of Babada Mountain. The mountain here is relatively steep, with an altitude of nearly 2,000 meters. After that, put on the equipment and safety helmet. After the instructor has laid out the paraglider, he will ask you to hold the GoPro and tell you some instructions. To put it simply, you must stand and run when taking off. You cannot sit down until he says it is okay in the air. Sit before you sit down. ✅After taking off, I first ran with the instructor. Anyway, the process was a bit confusing. After flying out to a certain height, I could sit and enjoy the scenery of the jelly sea below the mountain. Then the coach will ask you if you are afraid of heights. If you are not afraid of heights, the coach will take you to do some difficult movements, such as swinging, spinning, etc., and even let me control the paraglider myself. At this time, I feel a little weightless. ✅The whole flight takes about half an hour. Before landing, lift your feet slightly and wait for the instructor to land first. After landing, continue to trot forward. There will be staff on the ground to hold you. The landing point is at Oludeniz Beach. The store we booked is near this beach, and then we go to copy photos and videos. · 👕Wear ✅It is recommended to wear brightly colored clothes to look more attractive ✅Be sure to wear sunglasses, the sun is very dazzling ✅Remember to wear sneakers because you have to run along ✅Also wear tight pants, otherwise you will be criticized to the point of doubting your life.
