Jibhi & Tirthan Valley Tour With
Jalori Pass & Chehni Kothi.

After breakfast, we head up the winding mountain road to Jalori Pass (10,800 ft). On clear days, the pass offers sweeping views across the ridge. From here, we begin our 5 km hike to the sacred Serolsar Lake.

The trail takes you under a thick canopy of oak and pine trees. The walk is gentle and scenic, leading right up to the calm waters of Serolsar Lake. Beside the lake stands the revered stone temple of Mata Budhi Nagin. Grab a cup of hot ginger-lemon tea from the local shacks, soak in the quiet energy of the place, and walk back to Jalori Pass by mid-afternoon. We head back down to Jibhi for a warm bonfire, good food, and a relaxed evening.

Today we explore the heart of Tirthan Valley. After breakfast, we drive down towards Gushaini and take a short 45-minute hike up through apple orchards and pine trees to Chhoie (Choi) Waterfall. The cool mountain spray is the perfect refresher.

Next, we head towards Bagi village to visit Chehni Kothi—a towering multi-storey fort built over 1,500 years ago using only interlocking stone and deodar wood without any cement. The architecture and valley views from here are remarkable. We also stop by the ancient Shringa Rishi Temple nearby. Spend the late afternoon sitting on the pebble banks of the Tirthan River, watching trout fish swim in the clear water. Head back to your cottage for dinner.

Enjoy a slow breakfast by the river and listen to the birds. Pack your bags and take a morning walk along the gate trail of the Great Himalayan National Park (a UNESCO World Heritage Site). The forest trail here is rich in moss, wild flowers, and birdlife.

Before leaving, browse the local roadside shops for pure wild honey, handmade woolen socks, or apple preserves. In the late afternoon, we drive you back to the Aut bus stand so you can board your evening Volvo back to Delhi, carrying home the calm of the valley.
