About this tour
Bir Billing is Asia’s top paragliding destination and one of the world’s highest paragliding sites at 8,000 ft. But there is a lot more to this place than just flying. Tibetan monasteries, pine forest trails, Gunehar waterfall, the most chilled-out cafes in the Himalayas and a local market full of Tibetan handicrafts — Bir is the kind of place you plan for paragliding and end up wanting to stay a week for everything else. On this 3-day trip we fly, explore, eat well, sit in good cafes and spend two nights at a proper mountain stay. All strangers, friends and couples welcome.
