Trekking
can be viewed from two different stand-points; as an intense physical exercise,
or an amazing and unique learning experience.
This
year once again the teachers and the students of class X chose Billing Top as
their camping spot and spent an overnight. It was an adventurous and a
memorable trip filled with fun and laughter mixed with hard work and
challenges. Students were able to seek first hand experiences with joy and had
great time exploring various untouched environments there.Bir is a small
village
surrounded
by big mountains famous for paragliding in himachal Pradesh. It is known for
Hang gliding and paragliding both, which serves as a landing ground for
paraglide. Bir-Billing in the Dauladhar mountain range is known as one of the
finest aero sports sites in the world.
Their
launching destination ‘Billing’ is at (8500 ft) on the Dhauladhar ranges and
highest aero sport site, 14-km distance from Bir. Bir billing is one of the
nature wonders. This is perfectly designed as a launch pad, has become a legend
on the international paragliding circuits and a destination for world champion
paragliding pilots. The green meadow directly above the villages of Bir and
Chauntra is one of the best gliding sites in the world. The massive Dhauladhar
mountain range and the kangra valley below with its panoramic views offer
opportunities for high altitude up and down and all over the world flying for
more than 200-km. ( The Bir Billing has been a favourite trekking spot for our
school children for the past 6 years).
We
are glad and proud that they all had an experiential moment packed with wide
scope of learning and for their safe return back to school with sound health.
