Paragliding & tea gardens

Bir Billing is the paragliding capital of India — a launch at 2,400 m, a glide over the Kangra valley and a Tibetan colony of monasteries below. Nearby, Palampur’s tea gardens roll out under the Dhauladhar.

This easy four-day trip pairs the thrill of a tandem flight with the calm of monasteries, tea estates and temples — great for couples, groups and first-time flyers.
