India Tours
What?
Northwest Paragliding runs tours to Bir, Billing, a village in the Northern Indian Himalayas every fall. This region in India provides breathtaking scenery and consistent mountain flying conditions. Being led by our world class team of guides is the ultimate way to take your flying to the next level while enjoying the rich culture and spectacular views.
Who?
The reliable thermals and user friendly flying conditions along the Dhuladhar range make flying from Bir/Billing perfect for all skill levels. Newer pilots will fly XC and XC pilots will leave with new PB's.
