Bir Billing by month
| Months | Flying | On the ground | What to expect |
|---|---|---|---|
| Mid-Sep – Nov | Best | All open | Clear post-monsoon air and the busiest window — the 2026 season began on 20 Sep with about 200 flights a day. Rain days still ground flights, so keep a spare morning. |
| Dec – Feb | Open, weather permitting | Walks, monasteries, bungee | Cold mornings and short days; the Billing road and take-off can get snow (6 inches on 6 Oct 2025 suspended flying). |
| Mar – Jun | Very good | Best for the Rajgundha trek | Strong thermals, longer flights possible, busy weekends; cloud builds after midday by June. |
| 15 Jul – 15 Sep | Closed | Walks only; landslide and leech risk | Monsoon ban on paragliding; treks not advised. |
