What you can expect

Soar from the second-highest paragliding takeoff site in the world on this tandem flight above the Indian Himalayas. Launch from Billing at 2,400 metres and glide over the stunning Dhauladhar range, experiencing world-class flying conditions that attract pilots from across the globe.

Your adventure begins in Bir, a charming Tibetan colony nestled at the base of the first Himalayan ridge. Journey 40 minutes by taxi through winding mountain roads to reach the legendary Billing takeoff—a beautiful grassy meadow at one of the most spectacular launch sites on the planet. Sip chai and enjoy local snacks while taking in the views before your flight.

Fly alongside magnificent griffon vultures as you harness the exceptional thermals that have crowned Bir Billing as the world's second-best paragliding destination. The ridge stretches nearly 100 kilometres, offering incredible flying terrain as you glide westward over traditional villages, dense pine forests, and the sacred Bhaatu Monastery.

Your experienced, certified pilot handles all the technical aspects while you absorb panoramic views of snow-capped peaks, verdant valleys, and terraced farmlands far below. Watch colourful paragliders fill the sky around you in one of the most breathtaking flying environments on Earth.

After 20-30 minutes of peaceful flight, land gently in the open fields of Chowgaan in Bir. This isn't just an adrenaline rush—it's a cultural immersion into the Himalayas, combining Tibetan hospitality, mountain adventure, and the raw beauty of one of India's most fascinating regions.
