About Bir Billing
Bir Billing Himachal’s thrilling paragliding destination amidst the majestic Dhauladhar mountains
Bir Billing is the paragliding capital of Asia and one of the top paragliding sites in the entire world. Bir is the landing site, while Billing at 2,400 metres is the take-off point — together they offer one of the world’s longest paragliding runs, with flights that can last up to 2 hours covering over 25 kilometres of breathtaking Kangra Valley scenery.
Beyond paragliding, Bir is a beautiful destination in its own right — a small Tibetan colony with ancient monasteries, meditation centres, organic cafes, and mountain biking trails. The Chokling Monastery and Palpung Sherabling Monastery are among Bir’s most visited Buddhist sites.
