Navigating India: Eddie Colfox
Welcome to the second episode of Paragliding Atlas. This time, our compass points to the skies above Bir Billing, a celestial playground nestled within the Himalayan embrace, a realm where temples echo ancient myths, colossal peaks touch the heavens, and the air itself carries the whispers of legendary stories.
The great Himalayas, with their gigantic peaks and storied landscapes, unfold as the grandest stage for paragliding enthusiasts worldwide.
In this episode, Eddie Colfox shares the secrets of navigating Bir while decoding the unique partnership of pilot and sky as he shares his tales from the grand saga of Himalayan paragliding since its very inception.
