It is sad but not a lot of people know that Bir actually has a lot of amazing food spots to try out different cuisines and dishes here. Bir Billing is primarily famous as Asia’s Best Paragliding Site and has many monasteries, treks, etc. for you to check out here. But amongst all this, no one realizes that it is also a haven for food lovers.
So, when I stayed here for a month and got a chance to taste the delicious dishes and different cuisines here, I fell in love with this place.
I am a big-time foodie and Bir Billing was the perfect place to expand my food palate and make the most of my time here. Trust me, I am not exaggerating when I say that this place is one of the top cities for food in India after some major metropolitans like Delhi, Kolkata, Hyderabad, etc.
If you are planning to visit Bir Billing anytime soon, then make sure you try these 6 amazing food places here.
