Chasing Sunsets & Waterfalls: A Summer Escape to the Mountains 🏔️✨


Chasing Sunsets & Waterfalls: A Summer Escape in the Himalayas 🏔️✨

Hey there,

Summer is here, and we’re ready to go back to the mountains!🏔️✨

We're heading to Bir, a hidden gem in Himachal Pradesh, for an adventure like no other.

If you were part of Bir 1.0, you know what we’re talking about—paragliding over mountains 🪂, chasing sunsets 🌄, hiking to secret waterfalls 🌿, stargazing ✨, and making unexpected friendships. Somewhere between sipping chai in cozy cafés ☕ and getting matching tattoos with strangers, we found a home in the hills. Now, it’s time to return!


Wondering what this trip feel like?
Think slow mornings.
Solo walks.
Deep convos.
Hidden waterfalls.
The kind of adventure that doesn’t wear you out—it fills you up.

A Studio Ghibli film, but in real life.
Unplanned magic.
Moments that don’t just look good—they feel good.

If you're looking for a sign to escape to the hills—this is it.

📅 17 - 20 April (Good Friday weekend)

Swipe Right on Ladakh: Perfect Roads, Wild Views, Zero Red Flags Last year, I hiked to Annapurna Base Camp solo—no guide, no group, just me, my backpack, and a whole lot of dal bhat. 🥾I tracked every rupee, and yep, it turned out way cheaper than an organized group tour. But here’s the thing: DIY trekking only works if you’ve done a few already, know how to plan, don’t panic easily, and can handle altitude sickness..For first-timers or not-so-seasoned adventurers, paying that extra money for...
