Experience the thrill of Danyang paragliding at Paramaeul! Read my honest review on conquering acrophobia and enjoying breathtaking Korean landscapes in 2026.

Hello everyone! Ongsang here.
With my friends, I took a train
to Danyang for a 1-night, 2-day trip.
While planning the trip,
the activity I was most looking forward to was
Danyang paragliding.
I really wanted to try paragliding,
which is why I chose Danyang as our destination.
I usually have a fear of heights,
so even after booking, I kept thinking, 'Did I really sign up for this?'
But now,
it's become the most memorable experience from my Danyang trip.
📍 Danyang Para Village Paragliding
196-54 Dusan-gil, Gagok-myeon, Danyang-gun, Chungcheongbuk-do (Danyang Para Village Paragliding)
At Danyang Para Village
Paragliding Experience

The place we visited was
Danyang Para Village.
Seeing that they were an operator with a 37-year accident-free record
made me feel a bit relieved,
and my excitement grew knowing it was also a filming location for the variety show '2 Days & 1 Night.'
(I'm definitely from the '2 Days & 1 Night' generation, haha!)
After arriving and completing the safety briefing,
we waited for our turn.
I found myself much more nervous than I expected!

What's the Price?
The standard price for the basic flight I chose was
~$62.
There were also programs you could choose based on flight type.
Flight Type | Price | Features |
Basic Flight | ~$62 | A relaxed course perfect for enjoying Danyang's scenery |
Semi Art Flight | ~$83 | Basic Flight + Light Extreme Experience |
Art Flight | ~$90 | A course where you can enjoy extreme flying |
Since I have a fear of heights,
I chose the Basic Flight,
and it was incredibly satisfying!

My Personal Experience at Para Village

Because I usually have a fear of heights,
even after booking, I kept wondering if I’d made a mistake by signing up.
After the safety briefing, as we headed up to the launch site,
the closer it got to my turn, the more nervous I became.
The scariest moment, surprisingly, wasn't
the time spent flying in the sky, but rather
the moment I had to lift my feet off the ground.
I was so nervous, thinking, 'Am I really supposed to jump?'
It was less about my own will and more like I was just... pulled along, haha!
But surprisingly, from the moment I was airborne,
it felt much more stable than I had anticipated.

Instead, it felt like I was gently soaring with the wind,
and my tension quickly melted away.
The panoramic view of Danyang's mountains and rivers spread out before me was truly magnificent.
The pilot who flew with me was also
incredibly kind.

They chatted with me throughout the flight to keep me from getting nervous,
and took many photos,
allowing me to capture plenty of 'life shots' (perfect photos for memories).
My friends who came along also had a fantastic time,
though one friend felt a bit dizzy after landing
and needed to rest for a while.
Since some people might experience motion sickness
or dizziness,
it's probably best not to eat too much before the experience.
I recommend enjoying it after a light meal.
Plus, there were special perks available with a reservation!
When you book with Paramaeul,
you can get benefits on-site, too, so
if you have the time, definitely try to fit them into your itinerary!
· Mountain ATV Discount · Janghoenaru Chungju Lake Cruise Discount · Clay Target Shooting Discount · Free pickup from Gosu Cave and Danyang city center · Paramaeul Pension Discount (excluding peak season) · Danuri Aquarium Discount · Ondal Tourist Park Discount · Gosu Cave Discount |
If you're planning a longer trip,
it would be fantastic to make the most of these extra perks!

You Absolutely Must Visit Cafe San!

📍 Cafe San
196-86 Dusan-gil, Gagok-myeon, Danyang-gun, Chungcheongbuk-do
After finishing the paragliding,
I also popped over to the nearby Cafe San.

Looking down from a high vantage point,
the Danyang scenery was truly refreshing,
and it was the perfect spot to take a short break.
Unfortunately, I wanted to see the sunset,
but my schedule didn't allow me to stay until the very end.
My friends and I were so impressed with the view that we even talked about coming back next time to catch the sunset!
