Workation in Bir: the essentials
Bir is a rural village in Himachal Pradesh, in the west of the Joginder Nagar Valley. Tibetan refugees founded the Bir Tibetan Colony here in the early 1960s, and its monasteries still set the tone. The other draw is paragliding: the Billing launch site in the hills above has made Bir India's best-known flying spot, though flying pauses during the monsoon. Expect cafés and guesthouses rather than town services, and evenings that end early. Kangra Airport is about 43 km away.

Bir in the Himalayas is a paragliding village without conventional coworking, though several cafés cater to working travellers. Power cuts are frequent, so a mobile hotspot is essential. The monsoon from July to September brings rain and outages.
