Bir . . Beyond Paragliding . .
Bir . . Cafes, Monasteries and more . . A fun place to walk and cycle is how I would describe Bir in a line. I treasure my walks in and around Bir the most. Slow and aimless walks where both the mind and feet wander. The phone stays shut. The gentle slopes and friendly smiles too have a role to play. The first time I read of Bir was a few years ago in The Outdoor Journal . I recall being stunned by an image that showcased humans and birds in the same frame – both up in the air. I understand Bir’s reputation as THE place for paragliding in the country, and beyond, has only strengthened since. It is an experience to lie languorously on one’s back and look at people glide towards what is referred to as the ‘landing site’. Billing is where the take-off spot is.
