Take a trip to the beautiful Hidden Himalayas as you go exploring the quaint little towns that are secretly hidden in the laps of the Himalayas. The tour will take you to Shangarh, an idyllic little town stationed in the Himalayan National Park in the Sainj Valley. With the breathtaking panorama views and the untouched beauty of the meadows, Shangarh offers unexpected encounters with beautiful scenery at every turn.
You’ll also be travelling to the beautiful Tirthan Valley, which nestles the beautiful towns of Jibhi, Banjar, and Gushaini. Set by the Tirthan River, these towns are ideal for travellers who are looking to escape mundane existence in concrete jungles and busy cities for rejuvenation. Jibhi offers the perfect mix of lovely short trails, which could be followed without a guide; longer, more elusive paths deep into the forests, which can be explored under expert guidance; breathtaking waterfalls; and meandering rivers to wander along the banks.
Jibhi also deserves praise for preserving its history and culture as Chehni Kothi, a fortified tower that still stands strong, dates back to the 17th century, and remains one of the most popular attractions among devotees as well as travelers.
We know being surrounded by mountains often fills people with a strong desire to climb them so that they can experience the thrill that comes with being on top which is why we make sure that you get to go on a trek during this trip along with other things that you must do in Jibhi like visiting the Serolsar lake, Jalori Pass, etc because these are some of the must-visit places in Jibhi, Himachal Pradesh. Situated at an altitude of 3,120 meters above sea level, Jalori Pass offers a breathtaking view of the great Himalayan peaks and it’s the kind of experience that leaves a long-lasting impression on your mind and makes you want to revisit the moment again.
Although this quaint village is accessible throughout the year, the best time to visit Jibhi is from November to February as the weather is perfect for getting the most out of this weekend trip. Jibhi has slowly become extremely popular among travelers in recent years because of the abundance of peace it has to offer.
Shangarh and Jibhi are the ideal weekend getaway for most people who are looking to spend some peaceful moments.
Spending time in the serene, green meadows will definitely calm your senses and make your worries fade away. Although it depends on the kind of landscape you prefer, be it green canopies or ivory mountains, This remains one of the best weekend trips that you can embark upon and can be accessed throughout the year.
