The Rajgundha Reset
Leave lighter than you arrived.
Camping in tents, paragliding, hiking, and campfire. Three days in the Himalayas. A night of camping in a quiet valley the road barely reaches. Mornings that begin with mindfulness instead of notifications. And to finish, Himalayan paragliding over the very valley you walked through, if you choose it. Not a trekking package, not a paragliding package, a reset.
Group size
8–12, small on purpose
Fitness
Genuinely easy. Sunday’s gradual hike up to Chaina Pass is the one real stretch, and the vehicle goes the same way for anyone who’d rather ride.
Season
October–November and March–May. We don’t run this in monsoon.
Who it's for
Anyone who needs to breathe. First-timers especially welcome, nothing here needs experience, only warm socks.
This is for you if…
Honestly, not for you if…
Three days, told the way they feel.
Let the noise drop
A mindful walk past a monastery, to a sunset worth standing still for.
Arrive, exhale. A ninety-minute welcome circle over chai, then a mindful walk straight out from where you're staying — quiet trails, past a monastery, to a sunset worth standing still for. Dinner together at one long table, and a bonfire.
Where the road ends, the valley begins
An afternoon of stillness, and a river to hike down to.
Out of Bir after a proper breakfast, no dawn starts here. We drive through Billing and stop at Chaina Pass for tea, with the whole Dhauladhar spread out in front of you. Then we drop into Rajgundha, where the road gives up and the valley takes over. Settle in, an afternoon of stillness, and let the afternoon be exactly as empty as you'd like it. Then we hike down to the river Uhl at half past three. Evening tea, the fire, a night ending with sky full of stars and the heart of the whole weekend.
The last quiet, then the pass
Meditation and yoga, a gradual climb to the pass, then the choice to fly home over everything you walked.
The last day opens at eight with meditation and yoga, nobody hurried out of this valley. Breakfast, then the walk up to Chaina Pass: a steady, gradual climb, paced kindly. Tea at the top and a long sit in front of the high Himalayas, and the vehicle meets us right there for the ride down to Billing. A simple lunch at the launch, then the way home is yours: fly. One final tea together closes the weekend.

What's handled
- 2 nights’ stay: Bir + Rajgundha camp (Saturday)
- All ground transport from Bir onward
- Every meal, Friday dinner to Sunday goodbye tea
- Hosted walks, the sharing circle, morning meditation
- Tandem paragliding for those who opt in, no extra charge from us
Good to know — the honest bits
- —Food up high is simple, not fancy: dal-rice, parathas, Maggi, honest mountain food.
- —Meals are handled, but carry your own snacks and dry fruits for Saturday’s hike down to the river and sunday hike up to China pass
- —Paragliding is your choice at booking, at no extra charge. Weather has the final word, if flying isn't possible, everyone comes down together by trail or vehicle.
- —The cold is the real discomfort risk, not the walking, the kit list is firm for a reason.
- —Network is decent in Bir, weak at Billing, basically none in Rajgundha, your family’s emergency contact line is set up before we lose signal.
- —No alcohol on the trail or at the Saturday fire.
