Blue Umbrella - Pālampur

Had dinner after visiting bir, good food and service was provided. service was good and fast. the food was delicious and fresh.

We visited The Blue Umbrella during the high season while looking for a place to stay in Palampur. We were unable to find accommodations there, and were recommended The Blue Umbrella instead. Located 25-30 km from Palampur in Bir, this area is renowned for paragliding and has a strong Tibetan presence with two nearby monasteries. Another attraction in the area is a tea factory. The resort is newly constructed and stands out for its unique architecture. We were impressed by the well-stocked library and entertainment options like carrom board and chess. The food was delicious and reminded us of home-cooked meals, and the rooms were clean. The overall cost of our stay, including meals, was very reasonable. Most tourists come to Bir for paragliding, and there is an international paragliding festival held in October-November. Although we didn't have time to try paragliding during this visit, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would love to return in the future.

I went for paragliding and the owner, Jyoti Thakur, is an amazing person who knows the business inside and out and is very helpful. I would give Jyoti 10 stars, but the pilot Surjit who was assigned to me was not good at all. He did not communicate well and took risks without explaining anything to me. Unlike my friends who were guided by their pilots to take off a video, he did not recommend anything to me. I did not end up getting a video. Additionally, during the paragliding, he changed the camera position behind me which resulted in all images turning dark. This fell far below my expectations. However, the overall experience was salvaged by the great service of Jyoti. Thank you.

The combination of a blue umbrella and paragliding creates a delightful experience. Initially skeptical when told by my paragliding instructor to wait at the blue umbrella, I was pleasantly surprised by the welcoming atmosphere. They allowed us to bring and open our own beer bottles, providing beer mugs for us to enjoy. Within an hour, we were captivated by the view of the sky filled with gliders and the clear sight of the landing site from the rooftop. The food, while basic, was fresh and tasty. It is advisable to inform them beforehand if you plan to go paragliding so that you can enjoy your meal promptly after the experience. All of my friends whom I recommended this place to have also fallen in love with it.
