Vol Biv

Designed to be more adventurous, this Vol Biv course will focus on landing out for bivvy adventures and continuing from there the next morning.

Trips run every October

Billing India, Vol Biv

This course is designed to give you an insight into the adventure and thrill of Vol Bivving. To make the most out of this course and the Himalayan landscape, you need to have flown with us in Billing before and be very comfortable with top landings in tricky conditions. For the vol-bivs, you will have to bring and fly with your own gear. Once you book, our team will guide and recommend you on the best gear options.

We will all live, eat, sleep and breath paragliding for this time, flying XC every day and setting tasks to maximise the conditions of each day, and to push your flying ability within your comfort level.

Our Volbiv guides for this year are Debu Choudhury, who knows these mountains like the back of his hand and Richard Binstead, an Australian Redbulls xAlps athlete who has intimate knowledge of this Himalayan region, having spent many seasons flying Vol Biv here.

Designed to be more adventurous, Vol Biv trips will focus on landing out for bivvy adventures and continuing from there the next morning. As this is quite intense, we run it on a 1:2 guide to client ratio.

This year we are providing a bespoke service where you can chose between 1-3 day options with one of our guides. Possible volbiv options would be 360, Big Face, Parashar Lake, Hobbitton, and some sites over the back; decided by the guides, based on pilot skill level and conditions.
