Dreaming of soaring above Sri Lanka’s golden beaches, rivers, and lush landscapes? Paramotoring offers a breathtaking way to experience the country’s beauty from a whole new angle — and the best part? You don’t need any experience to give it a try! This beginner’s guide will walk you through everything you need to know before taking flight with SkyClub Paramotoring in Bentota or Negombo.
✈️ What Is Paramotoring?
Paramotoring, also known as powered paragliding, combines the freedom of paragliding with the control of a small engine. The pilot wears a motor (paramotor) that powers the flight, allowing takeoff from flat ground without the need for hills or cliffs.
It’s one of the most accessible forms of powered flight — no jumping off ledges or complicated gear required!
🌴 Where Can You Fly in Sri Lanka?
SkyClub Paramotoring offers flights from two stunning coastal destinations:
- Bentota: Fly over palm-lined beaches, the iconic Bentota River, and peaceful mangrove forests.
- Negombo: Glide above endless beaches, fishing villages, and the shimmering lagoon.
Both locations provide panoramic views and unique scenery — perfect for beginners wanting to soak in Sri Lanka’s coastal beauty.
