Snowfall in Bir Billing – Winter 2026
Just like a classic Himachali winter postcard, Bir Billing and Rajgundha Valley witnessed a magical snowfall spell on 23rd & 24th January 2026. Pine forests, monasteries, paragliding meadows and camps turned white – reminding many travellers of the old-school hill station charm India loves during peak winter.

⏳ Snow Stay & Melting Pattern
Road towards Billing is currently closed for around 4 km due to heavy snowfall. Expected to open in 2–3 days as snow melts. However, local tourist vehicle movement is causing traffic jams between Bir and Billing. Avoid self‑driving if road conditions are unclear – using a local taxi is safer.

🪂 Paragliding During Snowfall
Paragliding operations resume once weather clears. However, during heavy snowfall, vehicles may not reach Billing take‑off. In such cases, flyers need to trek a few kilometres to the take‑off point. This adds a mini adventure – something many Indian winter travellers actually enjoy, just like walking through snow in Manali or Gulmarg.

🏕️ Why Camp Oak View Stands Out
Camp Oak View is one of the rare stays in Bir Billing that experiences snowfall most of the time when the valley turns white. Even during snow spells, the road remains open till the camp, making it ideal for families, couples, bikers and photographers who want snow without extreme risk.
