Bir Billing Travel Guide (2025): Paragliding, Cafés & Luxury Stays

Bir Billing is not just a destination — it’s a lifestyle. Located at the base of the Dhauladhar mountains in Himachal Pradesh, this scenic town is known as the paragliding capital of India and ranks among the top paragliding sites in the world.

But beyond the adrenaline rush, Bir Billing has evolved into a sophisticated escape for travellers who value tranquillity, curated experiences, and slow living.

Why Bir Billing is a Hidden Gem (and Not Just Another Hill Station)

While typical hill stations are crowded, noisy, and commercial, Bir Billing is designed for people who appreciate space and comfort.

Here, you’ll find:

• Global travellers and paragliding schools

• A refined café scene (think Bali meets the Himalayas)

• Entrepreneurs and digital nomads working with mountain views

• Peaceful trails leading to monasteries and forests

Bir offers a rare balance: luxury without losing authenticity.

Paragliding in Bir Billing: The Best Flying Experience in India

Billing (the takeoff site) and Bir (the landing site) create some of the best flying conditions in the world.

Why paragliding here is special:

• Thermal winds allow long-duration flights

• Professional, certified, and world-class pilots

• Beautiful landscape views (pine forests + snow peaks)

Even if you don’t fly, simply watching the gliders descend into Bir’s lush landing field is unforgettable.

People land with the same expression every time — “That changed something in me.”

If you plan to fly, book with reputed pilots — avoid random touts near the landing site.(We help our guests get priority bookings with trusted instructors.)

Where to Stay in Bir Billing (The Luxury Side of Bir)

Bir has plenty of budget hostels and homestays — but if you prefer comfort and privacy, choose carefully.

When selecting a luxury stay in Bir, look for:

• Heated pool or hot-air pool (Bir gets cold, even in summer evenings)

• Private villa or boutique property, not a large commercial hotel

• Valley views and open spaces

• Rooms designed for comfort + long stays

Many travellers who understand curated experiences choose villas over hotels — the environment is calmer, and the service is more personal.

As local hosts who’ve lived here for years, we designed our stay with that exact intention:a place that feels like a home, but elevated.

And yes — we are one of the only villas in Bir with a heated pool / hot-air pool, perfect after paragliding or a cold mountain evening.
