The village is also a noted spot for ecotourism, meditation, and spiritual studies. Home to a Tibetan refugee settlement, Bir houses a number of Buddhist monasteries and also a large stupa. Also a visual treat, Bir offers a number of activities like trekking, paragliding, mountain biking, hand gliding, that are sure to get your adrenaline pumping! Bir has something to suit everyone’s palate.
The months of April to June turn Bir into a gorgeous place. The snow begins to melt with the onset of pleasant weather as the summer arrives, and this season is the best for paragliding, the sport for which Bir is famous and reputed. Monsoons are also beautiful, as they bring about a new burst of flora in the region, but this season is not ideal for paragliding. You can take part in other activities for sure. In winters the temperatures go down to sub zeros, and it is ideal for the people who take part in a winter trek adventure.
