Top Activity to do in Bir Billing: And No it’s Not Just Paragliding!

Bir Billing is the top destination in the world for Paragaliding. The two villages of Bir- Billing are located in the Kangra District of Himachal Pradesh. Bir (Landing site) is 25kms (By Road) down south from Billing (Take off Site). The area hosted India’s first ever Paragliding World Cup in 2015 and has been blooming on the tourism map ever since.

However, nowadays it’s not just paragliding that’s attracting tourists to this small hamlet nestled with the serene views of the mighty Dhauladhars, its Mountain Biking.

Mountain Biking (MTB) is an adventure sport that involves riding a bicycle over rough/ off-road terrain. What it means to one may vary from person to person. For someone like me, It may be about racing on steep narrow Single Tracks filled with rocks and roots with deep gorges on one side, whereas for some it maybe their escape from the busy week that they’ve been having and connect to nature and to their inner self. No matter what’s the reason for you trying it out, mountain biking gives a sense of freedom, a fleeting moment of clarity, a sense of accomplishment when you reach the top of a hill and many other emotions which are hard to describe but easier to experience.
