Bir Billing

Though two different locations, Bir and Billing, they are collectively called by a single name; Bir Billing. Bir Billing in Himachal Pradesh has gained insane amount of popularity in the past few years, due to its exciting list of adventure activities. Known to be the best spot for Paragliding in the country, Bir Billing is sometimes called the paragliding capital of India. The place is equally popular for ecotourism, and study of spiritual arts and forms of meditation.
Activities and Excursions

One of the most beautiful things you can enjoy here is Paragliding. The enjoyment of flying above the Dhauladar ranges should not be missed. You can actually get a 360 view of the entire Bir Billing. Paragliding has a dependency on weather. So make sure whenever you plan to go for it, just double check about the weather.
