About this drive
Bir is the easiest day out from Dharamshala that feels like a different world: Tibetan monasteries, tea gardens and, on most clear days in season, the sky full of paragliders. The drive runs east along the foot of the Dhauladhar through Palampur.
Many guests do it as a day trip with a tandem flight, or move on to Bir for a couple of quiet nights.
