Indru Nag is Dharamshala's own flying site — a ridge above Khaniyara, twenty minutes from McLeod Ganj, where the whole thing from pickup to landing fits inside a morning. The tandem lifts off beside the small Indru Nag temple, rides the valley air for 10–15 minutes, and lands in the fields below with the Dhauladhar behind you. It's the flight for people who don't have a Bir day to spare — and a genuinely good first flight in its own right.
Indru Nag is Dharamshala's own take-off — a ridge above Khaniyara, twenty minutes from town, where you can be briefed, clipped in and airborne before a Bir trip would have cleared Palampur. Flights run 10–15 minutes on the standard tandem, lifting off beside the small Indru Nag temple and landing in the fields below with the Dhauladhar wall behind you and the whole Kangra Valley ahead. Pilots are licensed tandem operators we work with year-round, gear is current, and because the site reads the morning weather well it's the most reliable quick flight in the area. It is the right choice for first-timers, families with older kids, and anyone whose itinerary can't spare the half-day that Bir-Billing needs. If you want the longer, higher world-championship flight, that's our Bir-Billing page — this one is about how easy flying can be.
