Tiranga Rally Hike 🇮🇳🏔️ A rock face, a flag, and a bunch of people pushing each other to the top 😄
This Independence Day, we swapped our couches for boulders — bikes revving with the tricolor flying, hands reaching back to pull each other up, and the whole gang celebrating at the summit like it was the easiest thing in the world (it wasn't 😅). Picturesque views, roadside dhaba stops, new friends made on the way up — this is what a perfect weekend looks like.
Good news — we're doing it all over again! 🎉

📅 Next Tiranga Rally Hike: 26th January 2027
Same energy, same flags, same chaos — just add Republic Day vibes this time 🇮🇳

Jumping off 8000 ft jumping from Billing, I found my freedom 🇮🇳🪂

I gave myself something no one else could — the freedom to just go. Solo. No plan overload, just vibes and one big Bir Billing sky.
Landed in Bir and dropped my bags at Bir Nest — home for the trip. Within hours I'd already made friends (solo travel really does that to you) and we headed off to Baijnath together, wandering the Landing Site like we had nowhere else to be. Grabbed lunch at Silver Linings and somehow made even more friends along the way — hi Divya, Gaurav and Riya, you made this trip 10x better 🤍
Then it was time. We drove up to the Take Off Point and just... sat with it for a while. The view, the nerves, the excitement — I let myself soak it all in before gearing up for my own take off.
Waited for the sun to start dipping, and then — 20 minutes in the air that I can only describe as soul nourishing. One of those moments you don't fully process until you're back on the ground. Massive thanks to my pilot Kiran Kumar for making it feel safe and unforgettable.
Watched the rest of the sunset from the landing point, and ended the night the only way that made sense — brownies. Ifykyk 😉
This is what freedom feels like to me. Not needing anyone's permission to jump off a mountain, or to be alone in a new place and still feel completely at home.
This Independence Day — what does freedom mean to you? Tell me below 👇 and save this if you're planning your own Bir trip 🤍

Life is happening too fast. This is me asking it to slow down. 🌅🪂

Somewhere between the temple bells at Baijnath and floating above Bir Billing at sunset, I forgot to check my phone for hours. That's rare for me. That's rare for most of us.

We're all sprinting through days that blur into weeks. But up there, watching the sun dip behind the mountains, everything just... paused.
Maybe that's the whole point of travelling solo — no one to rush you, nowhere to be, just you and the view.
When did you last slow down? Tell me below 👇

Everything is organically grown and the taste, oh my god! If you can differentiate between gas cooking and wood fire cooking, you'll definitely feel the taste difference here as well !
