Thrilling and delightful 1st Paragliding Experience in Bir-Billing, Himachal Pradesh,

First flight is always special—the best place in India for paragliding.

It was my first flight from a height of approximately 8,000 ft above sea level. This place had very few people and may be less crowded due to the COVID situation. There were a few tourists, paragliding pilots, and some students aspiring to be pilots.

The Mountain range visible from Billing is spectacular. The open, wide mountain views with fresh air and a cool breeze are breathtaking. It was November 2020, so it was a little bit cold, but with the shining sun and clear blue sky, it was fine to be there. The picture below is of the main spot from where take-off usually happens.

Usually, pilots check the directions of the wind and its intensity before they can actually takeoff, Plus there are many other things that are observed for safe launch and flight by pilots. As per our pilot above location was not appropriate for take-off then, So we climbed even higher for a better take-off location. The more you climb and better the view of the mountains will be 😀👌.

Mesmerizing view 😄💁🏻‍♀️

The actual take-off point is (Image below), where you actually have to run down the slope of the cliff to take off. It’s like being excited and worried at the same time.

I was totally excited about this and really wanted to do it, Saw a couple of people running down the slope along with the pilot and I was ready for it.
