About Tirthan
The Tirthan valley is where we come from. The river runs clear enough to see the trout, the villages are built in the old kath-kuni way of stone and wood, and the Great Himalayan National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, starts at the top of the valley.
Around it are Jibhi and its waterfall, the Jalori pass and the forest walk to Serolsar lake, and the wide meadow at Shangarh. It is the quiet side of Kullu, and the place we know best.
What to see
- Riverside stays at Gushaini and Nagini
- Jibhi waterfall and Chehni Kothi
- Jalori pass and the walk to Serolsar lake
- Shangarh meadow and its wooden temple
- Trails into the Great Himalayan National Park
Best time to visit
March to June and September to November. Jalori pass is often closed by snow from January to March, and the valley is green and wet in July and August.
How to reach
About 500 km from Delhi (11 to 12 hours) and 240 km from Chandigarh (6 to 7 hours), through the Aut tunnel. Bhuntar airport is about 50 km away.

View detailsQuestions about Tirthan
Is Tirthan good for families?
Yes. The riverside stays are easy to reach by car, the walks are gentle, and it is far quieter than Manali. Children love the river.
What is the difference between Jibhi and Tirthan?
They are neighbouring valleys near Banjar. Jibhi is closer to the Jalori pass and Shangarh; Tirthan follows the river towards the national park. Most of our trips include both.
Can we combine Tirthan with Manali?
Yes, and it is one of our most asked for trips: four nights from Chandigarh with Manali, Solang, Sissu and a night by the Tirthan river.
