Bir Billing Paragliding Trip
Overview
A Bir Billing trip from Mumbai lands you in the paragliding capital of India — and one of the best tandem paragliding destinations in the world.
Bir Billing is the paragliding capital of India — and one of the best tandem paragliding destinations in the world. The takeoff site at Billing (2,400 m) offers a 15–25 minute flight over the Kangra Valley with the snow-clad Dhauladhar Range as your backdrop. The landing site at Bir is a charming little town with a thriving Tibetan Buddhist community, excellent cafes, and a vibe that attracts travellers from all over the world. Whether you fly or just watch, Bir Billing is an experience like no other.
Bir and Billing sit in the foothills of the Dhauladhar range in Himachal Pradesh's Kangra district, an area known for its tea gardens, cedar and deodar forests, and a strong Tibetan presence shaped by monasteries such as Chokling, Nyingmapa and the Deer Park Institute. The village is also the seat of a famous meditation centre, giving the whole valley a calm, contemplative atmosphere that pairs beautifully with the adrenaline of flying. The World Paragliding Championship has been hosted here, which is why pilots from around the globe return to Bir every season.
A typical Bir Billing trip from Mumbai is built around the morning flight window, when thermal conditions are most stable, leaving the rest of the day for monasteries, temple visits and unhurried café hopping. The peak flying seasons are October–November and March–May, and the departure on 20 November 2026 is timed to catch the best of the autumn thermals. Come for the flight; stay for the village.
Based in Himachal Pradesh, this easy 3-day trek is best attempted during March, May, October, November — when the trail and surroundings are at their most rewarding.
