Paragliding was in my list after the River rafting and now me and my friends were all-set for this adventure. We started little late in the morning from Chandigarh. We were 6 and our MUV - Honda Mobilio.

We reached very late, we expected a drive of 8 hours from Chandigarh but it took 12 hours to reach Bir-Billing and it was almost dark when we had our tents at Tatva Bir in that Paragliding heaven.

Bir Billing is a very small town in the Kangra Valley and the main population of this town is Indo-Tibetan. Beauty of this place is that instead of kites one can see a lots of Parachutes in the sky. Small town only with Paragliding as an activity but a beautiful place as a weekend getaway for north Indians.

Badminton before breakfast - Yavin

We tried our hands on the badminton before the breakfast and it was a very relaxing experience for all of us because of the pure air or I'll say pure oxygen without any pollution.

Breakfast :)

Time for some dashing pictures, Vishal clicked all the pictures with his Canon 1200D. Don't know weather mobile cameras are good or not but if you are adventure lover or a traveler than you should have a DSLR camera with you.
