Why here

The valley that made India fly

Bir Billing is globally recognised as the "Paragliding Capital of India": a high, stable launch, a wide green landing, and thermals that let good pilots stay up for hours. It's why the pros come here, and why a first-timer gets one of the safest big flights on earth.

  • Himalayan backdrop

    The Dhauladhar range fills the horizon the entire flight down.

  • World-class thermals

    Consistent lift is what gives Adventure and Cross-Country their air-time.

  • Beginner-friendly

    Certified tandem pilots do all the flying; you just enjoy the view.
