2 Days Bir Billing Adventure: A Paraglider's Paradise in Himachal

Bir Billing is where the Paragliding World Cup was held in 2015 — which tells you everything about the air currents, the thermals, and the 2,400-metre launch site that makes this the best paragliding location in Asia. Your tandem flight (with an experienced pilot, obviously) launches from Billing at 2,430m and lands in Bir at 1,525m — a 900-metre altitude drop over 20-30 minutes of soaring above the Kangra Valley with the Dhauladhar range as your backdrop. But this isn't just a paragliding trip. Bir is also a Tibetan settlement with monasteries, meditation centres, and some of the best cafes in Himachal. Two days: one day in the air, one day on the ground.
