Paragliding, village rides & art in the hills
Your Next Adventure
Bir Billing is Asia's premier paragliding destination — the Billing launch site sits at 2,400m, and your tandem pilot takes you off the ridge and over the entire Kangra Valley spread below. The 20–30 minute flight ends at the landing zone in Bir's Tibetan Colony, a settlement of exile communities surrounded by gompas, prayer wheels, and pine forest. Most people want to go again immediately.
But this trip isn't just about the sky. Bir itself is a place worth slowing down for. We start with Activa rides through the colony's winding lanes at golden hour — past monks doing evening rounds, mani walls draped in prayer flags, and monasteries that have stood here since the 1960s. The evenings are bonfires, the mornings are quiet, and Day 3 gets even quieter.
Barot Valley is one of Himachal's most overlooked gems — 50km from Bir, the Uhl river runs cold and clear through dense deodar forests, and there's not a tourist trap in sight. Final group lunch by the water, then you head back to the noise of real life, a little more reluctant than usual.
Day By Day
Arrive in Bir and settle into your homestay in the Tibetan Colony. After lunch, kick off with Activa rides through the colony's winding lanes — past gompas, spinning prayer wheels, monks in crimson robes, and incense drifting from every doorway. Evening bonfire and ice-breaking games in the courtyard. First dinner together under the pines.
Early morning drive to the Billing launch site at 2,400m. After a safety briefing from your certified APPI-rated pilot, you run off the ridge — and suddenly the whole Kangra Valley is below you. The 20–30 minute flight ends at the landing zone in lower Bir. Afternoon: art workshop in a pine forest clearing — watercolour, sketching, journaling. No artistic experience required, just willingness. Group challenges and a full debrief of the day.
Drive 50km to Barot Valley through mountain roads most tourists never take. Walk along the Uhl river — cold, fast, and bordered by enormous deodar trees. Optional visit to the trout hatchery, one of Himachal's oldest. Final group lunch by the water. Departure after lunch — most people are quiet on the drive back, and that's exactly right.
