Taxi to Bir Billing
Bir Billing is India's best-known paragliding site. Pilots take off from Billing and land in Bir, and the town around the landing site has Tibetan monasteries, cafés and tea gardens.
Most visitors do Bir Billing as a day trip from Dharamshala. We leave in the morning, wait while you fly, and drive back the same evening. The route passes Palampur and Baijnath, so both are easy to add.
If you are staying in Bir, we also do one-way drops and pickups from Gaggal airport or Pathankot.
Highlights
- Tandem paragliding from Billing to Bir
- Chokling and other Tibetan monasteries in the Bir colony
- Bir tea gardens
- Day-trip combination with Baijnath and Palampur
Frequently asked questions
Can we do Bir Billing and Baijnath in one day?
Yes. Baijnath is about 15 km from Bir, so both fit into one comfortable day from Dharamshala.
Is paragliding open all year?
Flying is usually paused during the monsoon, roughly July to mid-September. Check with your paragliding operator before booking.
