Dharamshala to Bir Billing: is it worth the trip?
Distance, travel time, day trip or overnight — and how to fit Bir Billing into a Dharamshala holiday.
Why go to Bir Billing
One of the world's best paragliding sites and a quiet monastery village. A village with a Tibetan colony below and a launch site at Billing above, known worldwide for long paragliding flights.
Is it worth it?
Bir Billing deserves a night — the 2-hour drive makes a same-day return tiring. It's the natural extension if you have four or five days.
