Piyush Tewari at TEDx Connaught Place to talk about SaveLIFE Foundation and how it operates in some part of India !!!

Recently attended TEDx show at Delhi and Mr. Piyush Tewari was first speaker of the TEDx evening. He works on improving situations of Road Accidents and helping people after an accident. Currently people avoid to help in case of road accidents to avoid unnecessary tension of police and court. Tewari's organization work with local police to make people aware about helping road accidents. He works with frequent road travelers and try to track down accident location through some of the wonderful technologies. I recommend watching this video online.

Roads near Naukuchiataal in Uttrakhand state of INDIA

Paragliding @ Naukuchiataal, Uttrakhand state of INDIA : During recent trip to Naukuchiataal, all of our office folks tried Paragliding and it was a great fun... Its 6 kilometers form the lake and one has to trek 400 meters to take off for the flight :): Here is our first hero to take the flight in the air.. Paraglider take off from a cliff and land down in a village near to the lake... Its 15-20 minutes ride depending upon the flow of the air... They charge 1300 rs for that.. I had already done paragliding at SONLANG Valley near Manali in Himachal Pradesh and BIR BILLING in Kangra Valley... So it was not worth spending 1300 .. For first time experience, its worth... Also one can negotiate to get a deal for 800-1000 in case group comprises of more than 5... : After feeling the excitment, most of my friends tried a ride in air... during the ride, many of them thought that I am clicking their photographs ... and you know... there was no pic with clear face :( : One of our friend screaming while taking off for the flight in air.... Road connecting lake and the place where paragliding happens... This road was very beutiful and had few patches on the way...Coloful hills arond paragliding area at Naukuchiataal... This is a view of hills parallel to the place where paragliders take off.... Tarun and his family taking rest on the half way while climbing to paragliding club.... Another photograph of the road leading to Pragaliding place from Naukuchiataal.. All of them want to try paragliding and waiting for gliders to come back.... Actually there were only 5 gliders there and they used to take them back from the landing place... All this used to take 30 minutes at least... A view of the lake from Paragliding place @ Naukuchiataal, Uttrakhand, INDIA... This is the landmark to find out the place where paragliding happens in Naukuchiataal... When we were driving towards it, we moved ahead and missed this board.... after some distance, we asked a gentleman on the way and got to know that borad was the point form where we had to climb to a small hill...

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...
