Her Cafe (Local Women's Kitchen)
📍 Gunehr, on the way to Bangoru Falls, Bir

Billing Takeoff at Dawn (Not for Flying)
📍 Billing, 2,400m, ~14 km from Bir
Everyone drives up to fly — drive up at 5 AM to watch sunrise from 2,400m with the Dhauladhar range turning pink and the Kangra Valley emerging from mist below. No paragliders, just you and the mountains.
