Bir Billing is a quaint hamlet in Himachal Pradesh situated around 65 km from the popular tourist town, Dharamshala. Bir found a place on the global map when it was chosen to be the venue for the World Paragliding Championship in 2016. It was only in the early 1990's when some Europeans paragliders discovered it to be an amazing place for paragliding. Steadily over time, the locals also picked up this adventure sport and there are now over a 100 pilots in the region. Many enthusiasts come over to Bir to taste the freedom of flying.
