5.0Our estate in Bir dates back to 1941. Today, it is a private retreat with a backdrop of hills and paragliders sailing over the property.
Two A-frame cabins in pinewood and glass, set in the garden beside the pool. Ideal for couples, families and small groups.
Each cabin is yours alone. Downstairs, a double room with a rattan sitting area and wide windows onto the hills, beside the kitchenette. Up the wooden stairs, a second double room under the A-frame roof, where a triangle of glass looks over the pool, the garden and the hills. Each cabin has its own private balcony.
A pool and garden to share, and a self-contained cabin to come back to. We also help you plan the rest of your time in Bir.
Bir is the paragliding capital of India, with Tibetan monasteries, golden sunsets and mountain trails all close by. Tell us what you'd like to do and we'll help you plan it.

End the day at the Bir landing site, 2.2 km from the estate, as the last paragliders drift down against the setting sun. The cafés around the field make it an easy evening out.

Viraasat-E-Bir is run and hosted by the Soni family. We named it Viraasat, meaning heritage, because this estate has been handed down through our family for generations. Its story begins in 1941.
The Dreamwoods cabins were conceived and built by our founder, Amit Soni. Design and construction began in 2019, side by side with local artisans and craftsmen. Every detail was made by hand, so it took three years before the cabins welcomed their first guests.
Today, the family's next generation looks after the estate and everyone who stays with us. We have put our heart and soul into a place that reflects our love for nature, with as much care for how it looks and feels.
Hospitality that feels like home, with quiet luxury all around.
The original heritage farmhouse still stands on the estate, kept just as it was. It is our way of holding on to what history has given us, while we bring modern comfort to the same land.
“We had a wonderful 3-day stay at Dreamwoods, Virasat-e-Bir, and it was truly one of the best stay experiences we have ever had! The property is absolutely beautiful, surrounded by nature, and offers a peaceful and relaxing atmosphere.”
“A special mention to Mr. Tek Chand, the caretaker, who deserves all the appreciation for his exceptional hospitality, helpful nature, and dedication.”
“The cottage was beautiful, spacious, spotlessly clean, and extremely comfortable, with a peaceful ambience that made it easy to unwind and soak in the beauty of the mountains.”
“Honestly one of the most aesthetic and peaceful places we’ve stayed at in Bir.”
“The lush green property features beautifully landscaped gardens, vibrant flowers, clean pools, and inviting seating areas.”
“The rooms were clean, cozy, and beautifully designed with a perfect wooden touch.”
“Such a warm, homely vibe that we genuinely felt like extending our stay forever.”
Tucked behind the Paragliding Institute: quiet enough to hear the birds, close to the village cafés and the landing site.
