Jibhi Waterfalls
Jibhi Waterfalls promises you a scene out of a fantasy tale. It’s situated in the middle of the forest and the water cascades from a height into a man-made pool.
The construction is wide enough for you to sit and enjoy your time.
There’s also a small wooden bridge that connects the banks of a water stream that rises out of the mountains.
The place gives you a fairytale atmosphere and will let you enjoy the peace with your companions, providing a blissful experience.
Mini Thailand
Looking for a quiet morning or afternoon?
Jibhi’s Mini Thailand is the perfect place to go.
Along the way of the Tirthan river, this place has a rocky, perfectly clear pool of water with two gigantic stones looking like two cottages along its sides.
This makes the area particularly picturesque.
The route to this place is through a short hike from the Jibhi valley, and it can only be reached on foot.
You can opt to swim or just relax near the water, but kindly be careful not to litter. The place is a humble abode given to us by nature, and we should do our part in preserving it.
Serolsar Lake
Serolsar lake, also known as Seroyul, Seruvalsar, or Sirolsar, is a delightful high altitude lake at about 10,171 ft.
You can reach it after a 5 km journey from Jalori pass in Jibhi which takes about 2-3 hours of walking.
The lake is considered being mystical, and the locals even guarantee its water to have therapeutic properties.
The place has a lot of picnic spots. Camping directly around the lake is restricted. Although, you can camp a little distance away in the meadows in the months of summer.
Lambhari Crystal Caves
Going on an upwards trek from the Serolsar lake, you’ll reach the alluring Lambhari crystal caves, present at a height of about 11,843 ft.
Travelers can pick crystals themselves in remembrance of their trip. The next day is a trek to reach the Lambri top at 11,843 ft.
You’ll find a shrine of the locals here who will present you with a 360-degree view of the whole snow-capped mountain range.
Kullu
Kullu is a town, famous for its nature, mountains, and trekking expeditions. It is mainly visited by travelers in November, December, May, and October.
You can reach the place by land or by flight as train facilities are absent.
You can enjoy many adventurous activities such as rafting in the river Beas, camping, paragliding in the hills, and trekking around the Prashar lake.
The Great Himalayan National Park
Your trip to Jibhi would be incomplete if you don’t visit the gigantic Great Himalayan National Park, which is home to a wide range of flora and fauna.
It was added to the list of World Heritage Sites by UNESCO in 2014. It houses about 25,000 plant species and more than 350 animal species.
There are several expeditions, and treks travelers could partake in to look inside the humble abode, although you will have to get a government permit to be part of them.
A 9 km picturesque hike from the GNHP main gate to Gushaini village is the only one that can be done without a permit.
The hike is alluring with the beautiful Tirthan river running alongside it.
Chhoie Waterfalls
Gushaini is the closest village to GNHP and is a beautiful village to explore. When on the road to Gushaini, there comes the Sai Ropa village, and after a little distance from this village comes Gai Dhar.
Chhoie Waterfalls take about a 45 min trek to reach from here. The trek is mostly downhill and goes through deep forests to come face to face with the 120m tall falls.
This region actually falls under the GHNP’s ecozone and is thus pure and untouched.
The scenic beauty is something straight from a fantasy book, as the breeze from the falls offers a misty, dreamy ambiance.
If you’re visiting Jibhi during spring, this place should be on top of your itinerary.
Chehni Kothi
Chehni Kothi is a towering structure made in the old Kangri or Kullu style architecture, which uses stones and timber planks to make a rigid grid structure.
The fact that the structure is made from stones and wood might sound funny, but it’s a remarkable fact that it’s this very craftsmanship that saved the fort from the disastrous 1905 Kangra earthquake.
Tourists are not allowed inside the tower, and only locals go in and out of it to worship Goddess Yogini inside.
There’s only 1 way to reach the tower. You need to take a 45 min to 1-hour trek from Chehni village, 7 km away from Jibhi.
The trek goes through some beautiful coniferous forests and apple orchids, and adds a great adventure to your tour.
Jalori Pass
Located at a distance of 12 km from Jibhi, is the Jalori pass situated at a height of about 3000m.
It’s a beautiful place for nature lovers to rest, and a must-visit due to the pine trees and differently shaped rocky hills present there.
You will encounter many varieties of plants and animals in the place. The place gives a feeling of being free, tranquil, and at peace.
The atmosphere that travelers find here compels them to call it a paradise on Earth.
Raghupur Fort
Jibhi not only has a lot of places for nature lovers but also promises adventure to history lovers.
From the Jalori pass, visitors have 2 routes, one goes to Serolsar lake and the other to the ancient ruins of Raghupur Fort.
The fort was built as a protective structure by the Kullu Lord Raghupur. Not much is left of the fort except a bunch of confounded remnants to be explored.
