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) –

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 10mins 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.

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 🙂
