Bir Billing- Paragliding A Pleasure

A journey planned in 2 days and last minute difficult bookings somehow turned out to be one of the most amazing experience of our life. (Expense and Booking Details in the End)Me and my 2 girl friends started off this journey on Friday from Majnu ka Tila, Delhi bus stand as we booked a Volvo that goes till Bir (The only bus that goes till Bir) and whole night full of talks as the girls do it best so I was totally awake listening to them. And as we approached Bir the weather became slightly cold so we had to take our pullovers. And the Camping organisers had the car arranged for us which took us to a Lodge to get fresh and have breakfast.Although the Lodge had all things available but was not great at all but it was a matter of few minutes as we had to move for Trekking so we didn't had any problem.And then the Organisers took us to the starting point of Trekking and took our luggage to the camping site. Woho 7kms Trek but we completed in 4 hours, still thinking did we actually do it...UmmmmmWe were assisted in trekking by a mountaineer named Ajay and I must say that he is the only one who made the trekking possible for us.The trekking was of difficult category as it's very slippery through the forests but after we made it to the road we were totally out of energy with lot of pain in legs so it's recommended to carry lot empty bottles because the best water you will find in Forests through the river...Never had so refreshing water Yummmmm ;)So then we called the car to take us to camping site and there we were in 5 mins with Lunch ready and waiting for us.And suddenly and surprisingly there was a Thunderstorm uuuhhh pullovers were not enough not so we got into our tents with our sleeping bags...At that time we were the only one in our tents as we were the first one to complete trekking and rest were stuck in Forests, So all the tents except ours were tore off :PAfter it got over we were just enjoying the serenic beauty for whole evening and having maggi and chai, best snacks in hilly areas. And Thunderstorm was back again this time it was more angry whoooooo so Organisers themselves realized people cannot stay here so they shifted everyone to luxury tents that had separate washrooms and proper beds and we had a nice sleep as bonfire couldn't happen :(But never mind we got awake with a beautiful view of first sun ray on the mountains (A non avoidable moment) and then we had our breakfast and we were waiting for our Pilots who will take us for Paragliding, it took some time so we utilised in clicking some pics and as usual I became a photographer for my friends so avoid carrying DSLR with girls hufffff.And then the most exciting time came when we were ready for Paragliding....It was easy to watch everyone but when you have to run along with that big glider down the hill it becomes scary but it is just a matter of 5 seconds till you don't get into air. Bir Billing is the India's No 1 and World's No 2 Paragliding site sobwe chose it for a reason and believe me it's totally worth it as it's a life time experience.And After 20 mins flight we landed back in Bir where our luggage was already waiting and then we had some amazing Tibetan Food in Tibetan Market and then we went to see some beautiful Monestaries followed by the Baijnath Teample in Baijnath and finally we boarded our bus back to Delhi from Baijnath.A perfect trip for a weekend Ended with our arrival in Delhi on Monday morning
