To get here, you can refer to the following route: From Hanoi, follow NH6 to Xuan Mai and then turn left and follow the HCM trail; 5km past Ha Tay Community School to Cho Ca area, turn right at the intersection of Ca Market; then follow the concrete road to Nui Be hamlet until the end of the concrete road will meet 2 paths:
+ Right way: This road is mainly dirt road, has a steep 200m slope, you can go up but pay attention when going down is quite dangerous.
+ The left way: the rocky road, this one is shorter. The slope is high but the road surface is less slippery, the traffic is safer. At the end, when it was near the top, a trench was dug to prevent the vehicle from moving to the parachuting position. This compartment is 300m from the jump point, so it’s completely possible to ride up here and lock the car, continue walking.
