Picture this: February kisses Bir Billing. Snow-capped peaks shimmer in the distance, crisp mountain air tingles your cheeks, and below you, a patchwork quilt of valleys unfolds. But instead of just admiring the view, you're soaring through it! Yes, friends, paragliding in Bir Billing during February isn't just possible, it's an adventure unlike any other.
