I had an amazing time and fabulous experience tandem paragliding. ParaBooking in Bir Bling are very professional, organised and new equipment and the pilot was brilliant. Thank you Sohail (project manager) and thank you Kishan (pilot)! You were both were excellent.
Rijesh Jayarajan (Verified Customer) –
It was a really mesmerising experience to jump of the cliff at approx 8000ft and fly away to a beautiful view of the landscape of the Dauladhar Mountains and the valley below. A totally supportive staff, Sohail briefed us in detail about the various procedures involved and best part is both my parents (one aged 74yrs) were at ease and felt confident to glide.
Totally worth the arduous drive and a memorable event.

I went paragliding with ParaBooking during my solo trip and chose their Classic Paragliding package for ₹3500. The experience was fantastic!
Initially, my booking was canceled due to bad weather and rain. ParaBooking promptly informed me and processed a refund without any hassle, which I appreciated.
On my second attempt, everything went smoothly. The team picked me up from my stay and transported me to the hilltop at Billing in their taxi. The Classic Paragliding experience was exhilarating! The pilot was very friendly and made sure I was comfortable throughout the flight. He engaged in small talk, pointed out various landmarks on the ground, and made the whole experience even more enjoyable.
Safety was a top priority, and I felt secure throughout the flight. The equipment was comfortable and well-maintained.
For ₹3500, the Classic Paragliding package was well worth it. The entire experience was professionally handled, and the views were spectacular. I highly recommend ParaBooking for an unforgettable adventure in Bir Billing!

직원분들 너무 친절하시고, 파일럿님도 아주 베테랑이셔서 안전하고 재밌게 타고 왔습니다. 2500m 지점에서 하늘을 나는 기분은 정말 말로 표현할 수 없을 정도로 대단했습니다.
The staff were very friendly and the pilot was a very veteran person, so it was a safe and fun ride. The feeling of flying at 2500m was truly indescribable.
Indira Aditi Rawat (Verified Customer) –
I recently did paragliding with ParaBooking at Bir Billing, and it was an experience that both my father and I will treasure forever. My father, who is 71 years old and has several health constraints, joined me on this adventure, and I cannot praise the team enough for the extraordinary care and attention they provided. From the moment we arrived, the team exhibited exceptional professionalism. The instructors went above and beyond to ensure my father was comfortable and well-prepared for the flight. Their patience, kindness, and expertise were evident throughout the process. The experience was worth every penny, and we are grateful for the priceless memories created. I wholeheartedly recommend them for anyone considering paragliding at Bir Billing.

Very professional staff and quality experience. Everything was nicely arranged and we had a very good time. We didnot have to pay anything extra for video or insurance or toll fees, etc. Everything was included in the package. Pickup and drop was provided from our hotel.

Everything was well organised
Anamika Kumar (Verified Customer) –
It was amazing and once in a life time experience. I enjoyed every bit of it.
Kanak Ghiya (Verified Customer) –
One out of the four pilots of the pilot asked for extra money to perform the stunts in air and that was a lapse of trust for me. Otherwise, the experience from booking to landing was phenomenal & extremely well managed. Keep it up 🙂
ParaBooking Staff (store manager) –
Hi Kanak! Thank you for your feedback and for reporting the unprofessional behavior of one of our pilots. Please know we take such reports extremely seriously and want to assure you that the issue will be addressed with the concerned person. We are glad that you had a good experience overall, and we hope to serve you again 🙂

Enjoyed. Sad the longer prime flight was cancelled on the spot because of bad weather.
Rohit Ramakrishnan (Verified Customer) –
Overall experience was awesome. But the duration was taken for only 15mins though it was promised for 20mins. We went in a group and the same was true for all of us.

Kaustav (Verified Customer) –
It was my first paragliding experience and I am glad it was with the Parabooking team. The pilot was exceptional at answering all questions related to flying and the details, tips & encouragement helped immensely to make it a memorable ride. Also got to know a lot about Bir through my pilot while being in flight, while navigating over the town like a bird. The views are breathtaking and words won’t do justice. Totally recommended and would definitely fly with Parabooking team again.
Annie Oberoi (Verified Customer) –
I am so glad I went for my first flight with Parabooking and the best flying guide Sandy. He is really experienced, witty, alert and respectful of his client’s fears. His humour helped alleviate my fear.
I will always recommend Parabooking and Sandy …. qnd I look forward to going back and get my sons to paraglide with him.. Thank you Sandy, because of you now I feel like doing a course.

Abhimanyu Padmaraj (Verified Customer) –
We chose ParaBooking for our Paragliding experience and I would say that is the best choice we took. I initially just called them to check (because it is depends on the weather) and the team assured me that the weather is perfect for paragliding and asked me to book on their website. Once the booking is done, we decided to go to their office as we were riding from McLeodganj to Manali. The team was very hospitable and comforted my friend which was his first time in paragliding. I have gone paragliding many times but the experience which the team took me through was the best I have ever experienced. I would definitely recommend ParaBooking as service provider for anyone who wants to go paragliding. I was unfortunate to take up only the classic package as the weather was not feasible for their prime or cross country packages. They usually have pick ups arranged from your hotel but they also have an office which I would recommend you to visit and meet the team responsible for making out experience surreal.

SUMEDH KUMAR (Verified Customer) –
Excellent services and recommendations by Mr. Vikram and the pilot Mr. Shamsher were great.
Great experience
Himanshu (Verified Customer) –
Flight time was little short around 15 min. Hope I could have stayed in the air for a little longer.
Staff (store manager) –
Thanks for the review, Himanshu! How long a paragliding flight lasts largely depends on variables like how strong the sun is at the time of the flight and the total weight the glider is flying. Since yours was an early morning flight, the sun is not strong enough to create enough thermals which give the glider its lift required to sustain a longer flight. Mr Shamsher, the pilot flying you, is one of the best XC pilots in Bir; and we strive to give you the best flying experience possible. But the rest is whatever the laws of Physics allow us ????
Rohit Roy (Verified Customer) –
