At about 2.40pm on Sunday, the Westpac Rescue Helicopter was sent to the mountain just north west of Tamworth.
They report the 58-year-old man received injuries to the lower half of his body after a heavy landing, close to the top of the mountain.
He was treated by ambulance paramedics and the helicopter's medical team before he was flown to Tamworth Rural Referral Hospital.
He is in a stable condition.
Mount Borah is no stranger to paragliding accidents.
