Famous for adventure tourism and known for having the second highest jumping spot in the world, Bir is a perfect weekend as well as honeymoon destination in Himachal. However, Bir is also a noted centre for ecotourism, spiritual studies and meditation. It is also home to a Tibetan refugee settlement and hence, several Buddhist monasteries. The most famous among them is the Palpung Sherab Ling Monastery, a must visit place for the travellers who are looking to explore Himachal.
While Billing is the takeoff site for paragliding and Bir for landing collectively it is known "Bir Billing". However, this heaven of a place is not just limited to Paragliding, you can go trekking to Himachali tribal villages, pump up the adrenaline with some rock climbing, go for mountain biking in Palampur or just chill out with your loved ones while fishing at the riverside.
The people here are super friendly, peace loving and have a certain joy of living as they go around their daily life.
