Local Etiquette & Permissions

The "Humble Request" Rule: This region is home to welcoming local communities. Before setting up your camp, find a local resident or village elder and ask for camping permission in a humble tone. The people of Bir are known for their incredible hospitality and will rarely say no to travelers who show genuine respect for their land.

Support the Town: Since Bir is the nearest town, it’s a great place to stock up on fresh local produce or supplies. Supporting the local shops is a great way to give back to the community that hosts you.

Safety & Conservation

Wildlife Awareness: This is a wild forest habitat. Be extremely careful at night, as wild animals—specifically leopards—frequent the area. To stay safe, never keep any food items outside your tent or vehicle. Store all food in airtight containers or inside your car, as the scent can attract curious wildlife.

Leave No Trace: To ensure these ridges remain open and beautiful for the community, please keep the site clean and respect nature. Always pack out your trash and avoid leaving any trace of your stay behind.

Pro-Tip: If you wake up early, you’ll get a front-row seat to the paragliders taking off from Billing. The sight of colorful chutes dotting the morning sky against the Dhauladhar range is a truly unforgettable way to start your day!
