Me in glass reflection of a Car @ Bir Billing, Himachal Pradesh, INDIA

Travelling-Camera sharing some high altitude captures from Road Journey to Bir-Billing: World Famous place for Paragliding: Posted by VJ on www.travellingcamera.com : VJ capturing reflection of beautiful Billing on car-window... Travelling Camera @ Billing, World's famous Para-gliding site...After a long road journey through Mandi, Hamirpur, Sujanpur-Tira, Palampur, Dharmshala and Baijnath, we finally reached Billing, world famous site for Paragliding.Just crossed Bir to reach Billing for experiencing paragliding on world's famous site in Dhauladhar Mountain range... Under legs of mountains and surrounded by tea gardens Bir a small village with a Tibetan Colony and monasteries in Kangra district of Himachal Pradesh(INDIA) which serves as a landing ground and a base for Hang/Para-gliders. Launching or take-off place is BILLING which is a little meadow at 2408 meters (8550 feets) on the Dhauladhar ranges: 14 kilometers up from Bir. This meadow is one of the wonders of nature seems like perfectly designed as a launch pad. Billing has become a legend on the international paragliding circuits and a destination for World Champion Paraglider pilots. The meadow directly above the villages of Bir and Chaugan is one of the best gliding sites in the world...Travelling Camera trying to capture wonderful colors of BILLING through side mirror of Hundai i10 ... From Billing the mountain range runs all the way to Dharamsala by separating the Kangra district distrc from Chamba. To the north of the meadow is the high peaks and to the south the plains. The fall from the meadow is about one kilometre and an average straight top to bottom flight to the Chaughan landing area lasts for about 30-45 minutes.A View of Jogindernagar region from a small road towards BILLING from Aehju...Road between Aehju and Bir is fine but the stretch of 10 kilometers was in very bad conditions. Its a very narrow road and rough at most places... Careful driving is very important because there are deep valleys on the other edge of this road... Initially its discouraging but after reaching BILLING, we found it worth it... A View of landing place BIR from the most famous paragliding destination in Dhauladhar range... The huge Dhauladar mountain range and Kangra valley with its panoramic views offer opportunities for high altitude flying for more than 190 kilometers. The Dhauladar range runs from Dalhousie in the North West of Himachal Pradesh in a curving arc of south-east to Mandi. Billing lies roughly midway between Dharamsala and Mandi and to the south west of Manali/Kullu valley.Tourist Vehicles @ BILLING, amazing para-gliding site in INDIA.. Billing is very well known in world for having the distinction of organizing the very first Paragliding competition according to the rules of Federation Aeronautique International. The Department of Tourism of Himachal Pradesh also organizes 'Para Gliding Pre world Cup' at Billing- Bir . It is also the place for Hang gliding and Para Sailing...Travelling Camera capturing the only house at high altitude of Billing Hills in Dhauladhar Range...

Road in the Mountains with Green trees on both the sides :: Looks like a green tunnel.

Travelling Camera on a long Drive in Himachal Pradesh: Mandi : Hamirpur : Sujanpur : Palampur : Dharmshala : Palampur : Baijnath : Biling : Jogindernagar: Posted by VJ on www.travellingcamera.com : A couple of my friends got married in June this year. I along with a few other friends took this opportunity to travel across Himachal on road. Therefore, the long itinerary.The sights en route were countless but here are the shots of some of the most remarkable ones.Road in the Mountains with Green trees on both the sides. Looks like a green tunnel. Road between Hamirpur to Palampur through Sujanpur is pretty good. There is a small strech of 8 kilometers which is comparatively bad but work was going on there... I traveled through this road after 4 years and it has improved a lot... Road has been widened between Hamirpur and Sunjanpur, which has reduced the major pain...Raindrops on the Windshield. The shot was clicked close to Dharamshala, one of the wettest places in India. It receives a lot of rain, second only to Cherrapunji...This is a short-cut for Dharmshala when you move from Palampur through Chamunda.. This particular road was bad but you need not to worry, because main road from Palampur to Dharmshala is amazing... After new cricket stadium in Dharmshala, it's maintained very well...Beautiful Cloud Formation... Palampur Region is simply amazing and these days I am dreaming of a Villa in Palampur Hills, Valleys, and a solitary house at Billing. Bir-Billing, in Kangra district near Baijnath, is regarded as among the best in the world for Paragliding. Billing (2290 m) is the take-off site and Bir (1400 m) is the village at the landing site.The road distance between the two is 14 km. Bir is sheltered by the Dhauladhar mountains and the ridges behind keep rising to 3000 mtrs, 4000 mtrs, 5000 mtrs and one after the other so as pilot can fly at 4000 mtrs and still watch the mountains tower above. Bir is a beautiful village surrounded by tea gardens and spectacular scenery, whereas Billing offers unique opportunities for high altitude and cross country flying and flights of 180 kms have been achieved from here...The house reflected in the side-view mirror...On the way to Jogindernagar from Baijnath... There is a wide road from Baijnath to Jogindernagar.. and very good for leisure drive... Many times I suggest the drive from Palampur to Baijnath and when I saw this road after Baijnath, I am not sure what to say ...

This Photograph has been shot in Himachal Pradesh, when I was going to Palampur from Hamipur ...

Monsoon Effects !!!

Monsoons in Hamirpur District of Himachal Pradesh: Posted by VJ @ www.travellingcamera.com : All these photographs were shot during monsoons last year. It was the day when I had to leave for Mandi from Hamirpur to meet other friends for 4 days trip to Manali. I left home at 5 am and there was heavy rain during whole night... As I left, rain started again and following are few scenes I captured with my Mobile phone...Water everywhere and most of the passengers in the bus were scared. Some of the students had some entrance test and they had no choice. They were just praying for reaching the test-center on time...This truck was parked on the side of the road and there is nothing like any road here... This is the point from where our bus returned back and planned to go through another route... On second route, after going approximately 10 kms, road was blocked due to heavy landslide... I was also worried about the students who had worked hard for their entrance and now they had no option... Bus stopped and we all were inside the bus because of heavy rain outside... 4 of the students courage to move ahead in search of any private cab on other side of the road... We all saw them crossing the broken road and moving ahead and everyone was wishing them luck !!!We were on a high point on a hill and here is one photographs of surrounding area... We had no option now and bus driver refused to drive until rain stops...Here is another shot... We moved back from this point after 4 hrs and took a taxi for Mandi through another route and finally reached @ 4:30PM
