PARA GLIDING HIMACHAL INDIA
Riding
the warm thermal currents of the air is perhaps the closest man has ever come
to sailingthe skies as free as a bird. Almost at will, you dip and wheel high
over the hills and valleys.
The bald peak of Billing, above the Buddhist monastery of Bir in Kangra, has
been the venue for five national and three international hang-gliding rallies
since 1984. The site is perfect for para-gliding too. And this sport is a mix
of sky-diving and hang-gliding. A fairly recent sport that is steadily gaining
popularity, para-gliding is possible at various places in the state. Places
where para-gliding is done regularly are - Bundla Dhar near Bilaspur, in the
kullu valley and at Intkali in the Pabbar valley near Rohru in Shimla district.
Himachal Tourism sponsors training programmes and events at various times of
the year, in different places. There is an Adventure Sports Hostel at Dharamsala
(Kangra) and an Aero Sports Complex at Bir. For details of training facilities,
contact sports associations or Divisional Tourism Development Officers of Himachal
Tourism. (Paragliding Pre-World Cup - India, 2002)
