Suja: Bir
Built around hillside farms beneath the Dhauladhar Range, Suja grew into a small rural settlement beside Bir in Himachal Pradesh. It stands on the edge of the Kangra Valley, where wooded lower slopes rise towards the outer Himalaya. The nearby Bir–Billing area is internationally known for paragliding, with launches at Billing and a landing area in Bir. Bir is also home to a Tibetan Colony established by refugees from Tibet in the 1960s; its monasteries add a distinct cultural presence to this part of Kangra. Suja provides a quieter rural counterpoint to Bir’s activity-focused centre.
