Our college was over now and we met again to collect our degrees. Although we've travelled very much together but this time i wanted to do it again without any plan all i had was this one stop for the bus 'Bir' in Himachal pradesh because it is insanely famous and most recommended for paragliding. All my friends backed off except one my roomate. So we booked the bus and we reached Bir next morning we had no plans what to do now but we were surely hungry so near the bus point we met Raju and we started asking him about the place and other places that are around bir so now we are waiting for another bus which will take us to Barot. We reached barot and yes as travellers say IT IS THE REAL GEM OF HIMACHAL. The tunnels built by Britishers the farming taught by them the beautiful mountains surrounding it the greenery it was all so much Mesmerizing. Now next day we wake up we talk to people where should we go and we end up with the trekk of pulling it took 4 beautiful hours to reach there. And as it was getting dark we decided to take a cab for returning to barot as there were no such accomodation for stay available there. Now next day we decide to go to billing via Rajgundha To reach Rajgundha you've to take a bus and then trekk for 4-5 hours. Well as raju was in our constant contact he arranged us a stay and a guide for Rajgundha. We started our trekk around 12 with Ayush our guide. On our way Ayush asked us if that girl was with us and we were like which girl that's how we met Riya. She joined us as she was a bit afraid to walk through the forest. After walking for 2 hours we stopped to rest and catch our breath. Then Riya told us how she got frustrated from the corporate world and decided to leave her job and just explore Himalayas and you know that time you get goosebumps just to be there because then you realise that Himalayas are worshipped for a reason they have been described as home of gods for a reason every lost soul comes here for a reason. Well now it started to rain and Riya had no plan to stay longer as she was about to go back for the last bus to return to barot where she was staying then ayush escorted us to Rajgundha through a shortcut and told Riya that if rain stopped then there is a shortcut to the bus stand but rain never stopped and Riya decided to stay. So here are now we three playing cards and drinking rum while Ayush was preparing tea for us. We only came out during the sunset in the rain . We couldn't see much but it was beautiful and worth it. Next day we continued our trekk to billing and Riya turned over for barot . Well that trekk was the most beautiful part of the trip to know how and why I'll tell you to go and see it yourself because it just cannot be described. When we reached billing we took a glider that came with Raju we thanked him and had lunch then there it is I have to run on a cliff and jump from it. That what my glider said to me and i thought I'm gonna have some anxiety attack but then Raju came and asked me to just take a breath and reminded me how i wanted to do it so bad. So i did it in starting it took like 2 minutes to settle down and then after ta ckling that fear of death i was just overwhelmed by the views and i felt like a bird a free soul and he asked me would you like to enjoy any stunt and i was like why not let's see what more does life has to give and paragliding drifted my life and changed it or flipped it whatever fits best for you .
