Tirthan-Jibhi

Located in the Kullu district of Himachal Pradesh, Tirthan Valley derives its name from the Tirthan river, which winds its way through it. The pristine river originates from the icy cold glacial springs of Hanskund, a snow-capped peak in the verdant Great Himalayan National Park (GHNP).
Jibhi – Tirthan Valley is located in the Kullu district of Himachal Pradesh and it’s about 100 kilometers away from Manali and 65 kilometers from Mandi. You will find it before the Aut Tunnel while moving towards Mandi to Manali. The best time to visit the place is from Mar to June. Spring gives the place it’s own beauty and winter gives you a different feel altogether.
The natural beauty of the place is alluring enough, it gives you an offbeat destination taste without bringing you to a remote area. This place not only attracts a young group of people but also families. There are ample amounts of activities to indulge in. However, the place also gives peace and tranquility if anyone just wants to stay at a place and relax from the hectic lives.

Places To Explore In Jibhi Tirthan Valley
The valley is full of beautiful places to visit. You may need a week or more to explore and cover the below list:
Chehni Kothi: Also known as Chaini, is a small village best known for the tower made in the 17th century. The story says that the tower was once a 7 storey building but got damaged in an earthquake in 1905 and lost it’s top two floors. The tower is the tallest building (45 m) built in the traditional local architecture in Himachal. This tower is the most famous attraction of Tirthan Valley. It’s 3 kilometers away from Shinrga Rishi Temple. Well again, the roads are not in favor of vehicles hence you need to drop your vehicle, ask around the local people and start walking towards Chehni Kothi.
Jalori Pass: It is an altitude of 10,800 ft. One of the least explored passes of Himachal. You can cover it either by road or by trekking. The road is narrow and in bad condition, makes the trek a bit difficult in winters (Jan-Feb). The road gives the pleasure of adventure to people who love to trek. You can find Serolsar lake and Buddhi Nagar Temple near the same.
Serolskar Lake: This lake is both enticing and mysterious. Some people call it Serolskar, some call it Sirolsker and some call it Serolsar Lake. It is nearby Jalori Pass.

The scene will leave you speechless as the water is clear as the sky.
Just after the lake, you will see the temple of “Buddhi Naagin”. The temple is devoted to the goddess of Nagin. You can get to know some amazing story behind this Buddhi Naagin Temple from the locals and it is never a bad idea to get to know the place better than interacting with their people. The trek to the top is known as Jalori Top.
