Billing India, Vol Biv

This Vol Biv trip will be lead by Debu Choudhury, who knows these mountains like the back of his hand. Joining him is Richard Binstead, an Australian Redbulls xAlps athlete who has intimate knowledge of this Himalayan region, having spent many seasons flying Vol Biv here.

Designed to be more adventurous, this Vol Biv course will focus on landing out for bivvy adventures and continuing from there the next morning. As this trip is quite intense, we run it on a 1:3 guide to client ratio.

This will be a 7 day trip, with the first few days focussed on top landings and checking the gear and then start the camping out adventures over the next 5 days of flying, from 1 night to 2 nights out at a time. Possible options would be 360, Big Face, Parashar Lake, Hobbitton, and some sites over the back; decided by the guides, based on pilot skill level and conditions.

Bir Billing Vol Biv

This course is designed to give you an insight into the adventure and thrill of Vol Bivving. To make the most out of this course and the Himalayan landscape, you need to have flown with us in Billing before and be very comfortable with top landings in tricky conditions. For the vol-bivs, you will have to bring and fly with your own gear. Once you book, our team will guide and recommend you on the best gear options.

We will all live, eat, sleep and breath paragliding for this time, flying XC every day and setting tasks to maximise the conditions of each day, and to push your flying ability within your comfort level.
