Overview

Cycle, Trek, and Fly with us across McLeod Ganj, Bir and Billing! We start this adventure on our feet before moving on to wheels and finally wings, as we take in the sights, sounds and smells of this region. Nature is the perfect antidote to city life and that's exactly what we get here. We'll get immersed in the peaceful vibes of India’s Little Lhasa as we trek through villages, cycle down slopes and go paragliding, meet travellers from over the world and learn a bit about spirituality.
