On Friday morning, Paul, Modesto, Richard and I took a morning walk to the paragliding landing spot just down the road from the Deer Park Institute. Bir has a worldwide reputation as a place for paragliding because of its tall mountain pea
ks and favorable winds. We started our walk at about 6 am and came to the landing zone at about 6:30 am. We went a bit further and were joined by one of the program’s monks who was out for a morning jog. This particular monk had lived in Bir for several years and was familiar with the area. He encouraged us to hike a bit further and joined us as our guide. We were rewarded for following him with a fantastic view of the valleys looking to the west. We returned to the Deer Park Institute at 7:20 am just in time for breakfast.
