    Destination

    Bir is a small town at the foothills of the mighty Dhauladhar range of mountains in Himachal Pradesh. Home to a large population of Tibetan refugees, the town has developed a unique culture of spiritual study and meditation centred around Buddhism. A short distance from Bir is the town of Billing, located atop the foothills with scenic forests all around. The combined area of Bir Billing is popular among paragliders due to favourable wind conditions and breathtaking views of the upper Dhauladhar mountains. With international competitions bringing in travellers from all around the world, Bir Billing is often called the paragliding capital of India.
