Taxi service in Bir
From the landing site and the Tibetan colony to the airport, the station or the next valley, in cars with room for a wing.
Bir is small, and taxis are not always waiting when you need one, especially early in the morning for a flight from Gaggal. Booking ahead means a confirmed car at your guesthouse door.
Paragliding pilots travelling with wings, harnesses and reserves usually take an SUV. Many of our Bir guests also move on to Manali or Kasol, both a long day's drive east via Mandi.
