A town that
lives in the sky.
Bir is where Billing's ridge meets a quiet valley town. Gliders drift down all day and settle at the landing site, and you can sit with a coffee and watch them come in.
The pace here is the point: two monasteries, tea estates, Tibetan Colony lanes, long café afternoons and an easy evening ride. One base, no packing and unpacking, no treks, and comfortable overnight travel both ways.
