About The Trip

If you are looking to get a spice of mountain life but do not want to get lost in the crowd of a hill station, Jibhi will serve as a mesmerizing hamlet for you. Tucked in the remote Banjar Valley of Himachal Pradesh, it is at a distance of 500 km from Delhi. If you are anywhere near, get ready to rock and roll with us on Jibhi Road Trip.  

Jibhi is a walker's delight, with easy trails abundant in seamless scenery and the freshness of the air. It's a scenic place that may be distant but it brims with all attractive opportunities for travellers. It stands out because it's at the confluence of two rivers: the Tirthan River and the Flachan River. The gurgling water and the voices of wind make up for a great night's sleep. At the same time, activities like Trout Fishing, forest hiking, lakeside picnics, lake treks, and sightseeing activities will keep you enthusiastic during the day. 

The mountains surrounding Jibhi are lush with Pine and Cedar trees. Along with this, the wooden architecture is ancient but gold-like—precious. The intricate carvings and cantilevered balconies of the rustic Victorian-style houses perfectly blend with the landscape.  

We are too excited to take you on a road trip that you will remember for your lifetime. We are eager to meet you, listen to your travel adventures, and share ours. Give us a chance to take you to this offbeat location in the Himalayas. Here is a brief itinerary of the Jibhi Road Trip with Plan the Unplanned.

Indeed, waking up in the mountains and looking up to a trekking experience is a rush in itself. After a filling breakfast, we will move towards Jalori Pass, at the height of 3120 m. Then, we will trek to Serolsar lake, which starts from Jalori Pass through a narrow pass. The walk through the dense and lush forest will capture your eye. Thirty minutes after the walk, you will open up to the broader views of the mountains. You can witness smaller pleasures like watching cattle graze, profound valleys, and blooming plants. On the way, you will also come across some ruins of cottages. Surprisingly, bricks, wood, and mud are the only materials used to construct these.

The trek will approximately take five to six hours. Subsequently, after crossing a very dense forest, we will finally reach Serolsar Lake with a small temple by its side. You can enjoy the panorama and reflect on your playful side. There is also a small cafe where you can take a break and relax. Later, you can enjoy the sunset on the way back to the homestay and sing local folk songs with trek leaders.

Things To Carry

  • Day backpack (20 – 30 Ltrs): When you are on a local sightseeing tour, you are required to carry only a few necessary items and for that, you need a day backpack as you will leave your bigger one at your designated stay. 
  • 1 Down Jacket / Main Jacket: It’s emphasized that you need to carry proper layers so you can avoid getting cold which is why you need to carry an insulated jacket that you can put on over your other clothes.
  • Sunglasses / People who use spectacles (Use Photochromic glasses instead of contact lenses): Photochromatic glasses are specs that are designed to transform into anti-glare shades depending upon exposure to the sun. They are good when it comes to eye protection but one can also opt for clip-on glasses etc.
  • Floaters or Sandals: When you are spending your day at leisure, a good pair of sandals and floaters will help you to move freely.
  • 1 Pair of Thermal: Thermal is a piece of garment that helps in keeping your body warm in cold temperatures. It is a necessary item that you need when traveling to cold regions.
  • Outdoor Shoes: A comfortable shoe is required when traveling outdoors, especially in the mountains. They shouldn’t be chunky, instead, they should be lightweight and sturdy.
  • 3 Quick Dry Tees: You must keep at least three pairs of quick dry tees so that you can wash them in between stops for proper hygiene. 
  • Documents: Identification proofs like Aadhar Card, and driver's License.
  • 3 Pair of Cotton Socks: Cotton socks are extremely comfortable to move around in and are lightweight as well which is why you can always count on a good pair of cotton socks while traveling. However, keep in mind to change them and avoid wearing them if they are moist.
  • Quick-dry towel: A quick-dry towel will help in maintaining proper hygiene. It must dry quickly because the wet fabric will only increase the chance of bacterial growth.
  • 1 Pair of Woolen Socks: A good pair of woolen socks, especially merino, are comfortable, limit odors and provide adequate insulation from the cold so you can wear them at night.
  • 1 Poncho: A poncho is an evolved form of a raincoat that provides coverage to your body as well as your bag and ensures total water protection from the rain. 
  • Gloves: Insulated gloves help in maintaining proper body heat in your hands.
  • Sanitizer: Prevent the risk of infections and maintain proper hand hygiene by making sure you carry a hand sanitizer.
  • Sun Cap: A lightweight sun cap with side flaps is perfect to keep your head cool and avoid sunburns on a sunny day. 
  • Lip Balm: Your lips can become chapped due to the harsh cold winds so it's important to keep them moisturized.
  • Cold Cream & Sun Screen (SPF 40+): To avoid sunburns and chafing, you need to put on sunscreen as well as cold cream.
  • Water Bottle (1 Ltrs): Hydration is extremely important when it comes to traveling. Carrying a water bottle that you can refill with Himalayan water is a must.
  • Bag for all your Toiletries: A bag with all your essentials including napkins, toothpaste, sanitizers, paper soap, etc should be carried in a ziplock bag. 
  • Personal Basic Medical Kit: Carrying a medical kit with bandages, Dettol, and medication for headaches, nausea, etc is necessary.
  • Mobile charger / Power bank: Although you'll get electricity at most places, it is always advisable to carry a charged power bank in case of emergencies.
  • Travel Laundry Bag: In case your clothes get wet or your garments don’t dry, you can carry them in the bag and keep them separate from your dry clothes. 
  • Camera: This should be obvious. To make sure that you get to capture all the great moments from your trip. Make sure that you have enough storage and some extra batteries as well.

Jibhi is renowned for its luscious green scenery and magnificent waterfalls within pine trees. The region offers some of the greatest walking trails with breathtaking views of the Great Himalayan peaks. Jalori Pass, Kullu, Raghupur Fort, Jibhi Waterfalls, Jibhi Valley, and Serolsar Lake are just a few of the amazing tourist destinations there.

In Jibhi, it does occasionally snow during the winter months of January and February. Aside from that, you will experience heavy snowfall and plenty of snow as you travel a bit higher towards the Shoja and Jalori Passes.

Jibhi has a respectable cell network and internet access. The best 4g networks in Jibhi are Jio and Airtel. Jibhi has nearly smooth cellphone and internet access.

The best time to visit Jibhi, however, is from the months of March to May, taking into account the local climate. It's that time of year when summer is just around the corner and the days are beautiful and the nights are cool.

By Air: The closest airport is 60 kilometres and two hours from Jibhi in the Kullu district of Bhuntar. From Bhuntar, a taxi costs around 2,200 for the one-way trip. Flying to Chandigarh and taking a cab (6,000 one-way) to Jibhi is a more affordable choice for a party. By Rail: The nearest train station is at Shimla, 150 kilometres and six hours south of Jibhi. Passengers must change trains at Kalka because there is no direct service between Delhi and Shimla, however there are several connections to ensure a comfortable journey (5 hr to Kalka and a further 5 hr to Shimla). Visitors can take advantage of the chance to ride the renowned "toy train" from Kalka to Shimla. From Shimla to Jibhi, a cab ride typically costs about 6,000. By Road: The easiest way to get to Jibhi is to take a bus from Delhi to Manali and get out at Aut. To acquire a cab from Aut, make arrangements with your lodging for a pickup ($1,000 one-way) or take a different bus to Banjar, which is 8 kilometres before Jibhi, and then a taxi from there. If you leave early in the morning, you should be able to complete the 520 km/12 hr journey to Banjar Valley if you are coming from Delhi. However, if a stop is necessary, Ambala or Chandigarh are both viable options.
