The Journey
The best of Himachal with a small group. Start by paragliding over the Kangra valley at Bir Billing, slow down among the pine forests and hot springs of Kasol, then pick up Royal Enfield Himalayans in Manali for a ride through the Atal Tunnel, over Kunzum La and deep into the cold desert of Spiti. A road captain, mechanic and backup vehicle travel with the riders. Runs in June and from mid-September to mid-October, when the Spiti road is open and the flying is good.
