Bir Billing Paragliding FAQ

Everything a first-timer wonders about flying in Bir Billing. Still unsure? Just call or WhatsApp us.

Do I need any experience?

None at all. Every flight is a tandem: a certified pilot flies the wing and handles take-off and landing. You just run a few steps at launch and enjoy the view.

Is paragliding in Bir Billing safe?

It's one of the most established sites in the world. Our pilots are certified, gear is inspected on a documented cycle, and flights only launch when wind and visibility are within safe limits. If a day is grounded for weather, we rebook you free.

What is the best time of year to fly?

The prime seasons are March–June and October to mid-November, when thermals and visibility are best. Flying is suspended during the monsoon (July–September) for safety.

How long is the flight?

The tandem flight itself is about 15–30 minutes in the air. Our packages differ by the trip around it: a 1-day flight, a 2-day camping stay, or a 3-day Rajgundha trek that ends with a flight.

Are there age or weight limits?

As a guide, fliers are usually 12–65 years and roughly 25–110 kg, subject to the pilot's assessment on the day. Tell us any medical conditions (heart, back, recent surgery, pregnancy) when booking so we can advise.

Will I get video of my flight?

Yes, GoPro video and photos are included on every package, filmed by your pilot on a selfie mount and handed over after you land.

How do I reach the launch?

You come to Bir; we drive you the ~14 km up the mountain road to the Billing take-off at 2,400 m. You land back in the Bir meadow, close to town.

What if the weather is bad on my date?

Safety comes first. If conditions don't clear the launch, we reschedule your flight to another slot at no extra cost.

How do I book and pay?

Send your package, date and party size on WhatsApp, or call us. A pilot confirms your slot. There's no online payment; you pay at the launch site.

Can I fly if I wear glasses or have a GoPro?

Glasses are fine (a strap helps). You can bring your own action camera, though we also film you; just secure anything you carry, as loose items can drop in flight.
