"Go where you feel most alive"
We are located between Barote valley in the north and Joginder Nagar, Kangra valley in the south. World famous Bir–Billing, the second highest Paragliding sight is 7 KM west of Wild Orchid Trail Cottages. We are situated on the same ridge as Billing.
This place is a paradise for paragliders as hot air comes up from the valley. We are about two hrs away from Mandi and one and a half hours from Bir.
Wild Orchid Trail is surrounded by Cedar wood trees with plenty of Rhododendron trees in the jungle. Rhododendron flowers bloom in March through April and the whole mountain ridge turns red in colour — hence the name Phuladhar (Ridge with flower, literal translation). We also have wild Orchids in the jungle during monsoons.
