The charming Indian town of Bir is known worldwide as a destination for ecotourism and meditation studies, and is praised by visitors from all corners of the earth for its natural beauty. Bir is situated in the foothills of the Indian Himalayas in the Kangra District of Himachal Pradesh, amidst paths winding through tea gardens into the forests and mountains to the north. The greater Bir area (which includes Billing, the Tibetan Colony in Chowgan, Ghornala, and Sherab Ling in Bhattu) is home to a diverse community of over a thousand Indian villagers, a Tibetan refugee settlement, and a small but growing international population (including students of meditation and philosophy, volunteers, and seasonal waves of paragliders and other outdoors enthusiasts). The small town of Bir Billing is a perfect combination of an off beat getaway that still has plenty to see and do and makes a perfect stop between Dharamshala and Manali/Parvati Valley. You’ll only see a handful of other tourists in Bir Billing and still be able to enjoy the peacefulness of the countryside and interact with local people untarnished by tourism as you explore all the Bir Billing has to offer.
