I started at the landing site where we sign a Declaration form. From there they take you in their jeep/ vehicle to the top takes about 20-25mins.
It is scary but they ensure locks are in place, give instructions, and tell you to run when starting and landing.
It was difficult to run for me both times. But the take off was very quick (my weight is 56kgs) and i before i could realise I was already in air.
Once in the air, it was very calm. I was relaxed. The go pro video shooting is part of the fees. They quotes us 3k but you can negotiate.
If they offer to do stunts, it is upto you, that is another 500₹ if you ask for stunts.
While landing, they also take photos as you are descending and after having landed. But still confirm with them if they offer it. Might be different for different service providers. Charge is 200 per person if you want these photos.
Ensure you have memory space in your phone, they transfer it soon after to your phone directly.
There are washrooms both at the top (20rs) as well as at the landing site
The area is lined with Cafes, you can also get bikes/ cycles on rent.
Our Bir trip was way beyond our expectations. Thank you Kapil and Karan for everything Receiving an amazing hospitality at Bir Resort Hotel is one of the best, till date! Tandem paragliding flight was a cherry on the top. The pilots were well-trained, licensed and very friendly.
Bir Billing paragliding is the world's second-highest and second-best site for paragliders. Also recognized as Asia's highest and best location. You’ll experience the best view during your session.
Indeed, it is one of the best experiences I would say given that I also dreaded the heavy winds that were flowing and that made me uncomfortable in between but overall it is worth coming here adventure. Enthusiasts would love doing even the other activities which are available in building such as Burma, Brij and Sky cycling bungee jumping The level from which the Paragliding stars can make you feel a little sick cause the air is a little too thin because of the altitude which makes it possible for Paragliding. So be prepared for a little discomfort if you have any kind of height issues
The starting point for paragliders is totally well organised, well laid out and ideal for the purpose. (Asia's best and no. 2 in the world). The view is fantastic and clearly shows the greatness of the mountains and the many opportunities for good trips.
One of the best places to visit and explore in Northern part of India. One should aim to jump from these hieghts and see it through from an eagle's eye view atleast once in life. Breakeven is the point when you attain the max height that you can while gliding, and there comes a moment when you feel like paused in the air at an elevation of 2400 meters #nirvana
Much appreciated is the work and efforts done by the local gliders and pilots jumping off back to back to back to show us around. Respect is what they'd expect from us in return.
Plz be careful before booking paragliding service. There is one person name Lakhan singh he is a big fraud. At the time of booking he said 25mins ride. And his pilot vikas brought down in 10mins We had to pay full amount rs3000 coz they all are from local gang. Tourist cannot afford any life risk.
Paragliding is open in Bir Billing along with other adventure activities. Flight time of Paragliding is 15 to 20 minutes. Climate is cold, with temperatures from 5 to 25 degrees centigrade in winter and 25 to 30 centigrade in the summer season.
This os the best place to experience paragliding in bir biling. Very professional service with highly skilled and experienced team. Thank you for the wonderful experience I recommend them strongly.
At "hp advantures" Mr. Raj Kumar and his team all are amazing very professional, dedicated, disciplined and full of passion towards their job. We have learnt paragliding from them and fly in the sky. We strongly recommend to do paragliding course from them and become a pro pilot. Their classes were so organized and team effort was too good. They stood behind us and guided in each step whenever required. Special thanks to Mr. Raj Kumar and team Mr. Ranjit Singh and Mr. Ketan. We love you all and will plan again to learn advanced skills of paragliding.
Incredible! Thank you Nagender bhaiyya for such an amazing takeoff and smooth landing. This is an unforgettable flying experience in my life. Thank you Raj Kumar bhaiyya for helping us through this. ️
It was lifetime experience. Very scary and also very adventurous. My pilot RINKU THAKUR is very trained and make me so much comfortable during ride that’s why I complete my life‘s most scary ride of 30 mints. I think at least once in a lifetime everyone should experience this adventure.
We reached Bir around 5.40pm, we were late. Next day we had flight from Chandigarh at 4pm. But Rajkumar gave all the possible options, but he told there is a risk. He gave his genuine opinion, he didn't wanted to do business he wanted to give us good experience. We took calculated risk & gave a chance to try in the morning. He made sure we complete everything by 7.30 so that we can catch flight & we completed it by 7 am itself. Ankit, my pilot have a good experience
One of the best instructors you can get in bir. Ashwini bhai and his team made sure that i have an awesome experience. It was my very first attempt at paragliding and it was surreal. Just go with them blindly and they’ll ensure that you have a great experience.
Bir-Billing is the best spot for Tandem Paragliding sessions in Himachal Pradesh, India. Normal paragliding flight is for 15 to 20 mins which includes take off from Billing at the altitude of 8000 feet from sea level and landing at Bir which is 4300 feet from sea level.
I can’t explain what an incredible experience it was to see Bir Billing from up above. We had the most perfect day for it with no clouds in the sky and perfect wind which made it that much better! Our pilots were the best too, they made us feel so safe but made sure we had all the fun too. We will definitely be back to bring our friends along as well!
That's the amazing super Experience of my life.the best ever did the adventurous trip.should try once in the life.the pilot was very friendly nature.all team members are very supportive for any help.best place for Paragliding.
Awesome experience. Not able to explain my experience in words. I did paragliding first time in my life here, which is highest paragliding spot in India. It was too good experience. So many people visit this place for official paragliding training cources.as there are 2-3 centers available who gives such type of training. The view which you get to see from top is unforgettable. Well trained pilots are there who helps to make your paragliding experience unforgettable and awesome. Must try when you visit Himachal, Bir.
Best place for paragliding in india, just take care of weather before leaving for trekking, it can change anytime, you ll have to climb 6 mountains to reach at the top of billing. Trekking is tough, try not to carry extra stuff.
At Bir Billing for a flight time of ~30 minutes they charge avg. Rs. 2,500 (negotiable especially offseason) per head making it the lowest cost per minute flight in India. While paragliding is offered at several places, they are largely commercial ranging from Rs. 1,500 to 2,000 for a 10-15 minute flight. The difference between the take off and landing altitude is also highest compared to any other locations. One must experience it once.
Well coming straight to point this place has to be in everyone once in lifetime bucket list in India! Set your fear aloof and let yourself sink into dilemma of fear and adrenaline rush to join those flying like shying away birds from sky! It's very unique scenario to even sit initially while eating and just looking at sky filled with gliders hovering all around. Rest being enjoying blissful ride in sky and having aerial view of city stretching below you like a toy town! All pilots are much friendly not much hassle of bargaining price everyone seems relaxed!
Excellent place for adventure seekers Per flight will cost you 2500 INR including your transport to launch pad location (Billing) along with the video.
Awsome place to do paragliding. Pilots are well trained. Its totally worth spending 2.5k for this experience. Way better than what one experiences in Solang valley. TBH, Solang valley's paragliding seems a joke in front of this and moreover, you pay almost same money at both these sites. Cheers
Awesome trip, I never forget.everybody should go once for paragliding this is the India's best paragliding spot in reasonable price. They will take 2700 including video and photos.
Its a must go place for people who love adventure sports.but please do take care because weather is important factor there.we were about to do paragliding but due to bad weather it was canceled so if you really want to try it keep 2-3 reserve days with you
Can't really put in words the experience I had at the second best in Asia and fourth best in the world Paragliding destination. This was one of the best adventures I experienced so far. It seems difficult and terrifying when looked at first but when you're at the take off site you don't get any time to get nervous to jump off the cliff. At one moment your feet are on the ground and before you know it the wind pulls you off the ground and you are flying. All I wanted at that moment that the flight must never end but alas you land and you definitely land with a great smile on your face. The ultimate liberation is what I felt in this very thrill-seeking adventure.
Very adventurous and safe to paraglide here. Its worlds 2nd best place to do paragliding. Pilots provided gopro while during paragliding for making videos.
It's awesome, safe, thrilling and certainly once in a lifetime experience. Easily the best place to try paragliding in India and this place is infact amongst the best in the world. Trust me it is indeed amongst the very best. Certainly a once in a lifetime experience!
The best place so far of my life. I have been over there for almost 3 years and still want to go there to live again. This place is world famous for "Worlds best paragliding site". You can fly over Dhauladhar mountain range for almost 25 minutes by paying 2000 rupees (without video footage). It is not only famous for paragliding but also famous for Buddhism. There are approx 14 monasteries around the Bir. Market, hotels, home stay, café's and much more to spend your time.
I can not explain the joy of the landing site if you want know come here and then you know how the place woow such a most most beautiful beautiful place of India in Himachal pradesh
It was an amazing experience. Bir Billing in Palampur, Himachal Pradesh is considered the best place in India for adventures in paragliding, which is why there is an abundance of paragliding operators there who offer short, medium and long flying sessions.
The Billing take-off point is Asia’s highest and the world’s second highest at around 8000 feet above sea level and the landing is at around 4000 feet. Go for tandem flying if you’re not an expert paraglider. October to June is the best time to go paragliding in Bir Billing.
The height is great for paragliding and the glidders are all licensed and experienced. Overall experience was good but it must be way more enjoyable if you learn and do it yourself.
