Day 0: from Delhi to Aut If nature had a playlist, Jibhi would be its most soothing song. Add the spice of Jalori Pass and the calm of Tirthan Valley. And here’s your perfect 3-day Jibhi itinerary with a proper plan! Let’s pack our bags, lace up those shoes, and hit the road. Your trip begins from Delhi in the evening. Catch an overnight Volvo or HRTC bus to AUT (near Banjar)—trust us, AUT is not just a point on the map, it’s the gateway to paradise. Travel Tip: You can book your bus from ISBT Kashmere Gate or online via HRTC/Redbus. Departure around 6–8 PM works best for a smooth night ride. Distance: Delhi to Aut – approx. 500 km, takes 11–12 hours. Bring a neck pillow, download your favorite playlist, and let the mountains come to you as you sleep. Day 1: Jibhi Waterfall, Beas River & Mini Thailand You’ll reach AUT early in the morning (around 6–7 AM). From here, grab a local bus or a shared taxi to Jibhi—a scenic journey of about 1.5 hours through pine-scented hills and postcard views. First Stop: Check in near the Jibhi Waterfall area. There are some lovely riverside homestays and wooden cottages that look like they popped out of a fairy tale.           Let’s Explore Jibhi After freshening up and devouring a Himachali-style breakfast (hello, siddu!), It’s time to hit the trail—on foot! Jibhi Waterfall—Just a short walk away, this natural beauty is the perfect place to get your feet wet (literally) and fill your feed with serene shots. Kulhi Katandi at Beas River – Walk along the gentle river trail surrounded by boulders and trees that whisper stories. Chill by the stream, dip your toes in the icy water, or just sit and zone out. Mini Thailand Viewpoint – A hidden gem that’s straight out of Southeast Asia. Lush greenery, flowing water, and bamboo-like vibes—it’s the ultimate “Did I teleport?” moment. Evening Vibes: Head back to your stay for a bonfire night. Some cafes even host live music on weekends. Day 2: Jalori Pass – Serolsar Lake – Raghupur Fort Rise and shine early—this day is pure adventure! Rent a scooty (budget-friendly) or hire a taxi (for a comfier ride). Scooty rent is approx. ₹800–₹1000/day, and taxis may cost ₹2500–₹3000 for a day tour. First Stop: Jalori Pass Located at about 10,000 feet, Jalori Pass is your window to high-altitude wonders. The air is crisp, the view is vast, and the real fun is just beginning. Serolsar Lake Trek – 5 km A moderately easy trek through dense forests with rhododendrons, deodars, and birds chirping in surround sound. It takes 1.5 to 2 hours one-way, and once you reach the lake, you’ll be spellbound. It’s peaceful, sacred, and glistening like a mountain secret. Raghupur Fort Trek (and That YJHD Shot!) Back at Jalori Pass, it’s time for a short but steep trek to the Raghupur Fort ruins. The views? Absolutely 360 degrees of WOW. This spot also featured in Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani—so don’t be shy to recreate Bunny & Naina moments! If you’re lucky, you’ll see rolling clouds below your feet. Return back to Jibhi in the evening. Tired legs, but a happy soul. Overnight Stay: Jibhi (Recharge for tomorrow!) Day 3: Tirthan Valley & Chhoie Waterfall Trek Wake up early (around 7–8 AM) and check out. It’s time to explore the hidden gem – Tirthan Valley, just 45 minutes from Jibhi. Take a local cab or shared ride to Gushaini, the heart of Tirthan. Grab a quick breakfast and head straight for the Chhoie Waterfall Trek. Chhoie Waterfall Trek – 3 km of Magic The trail is a mix of forest paths, local homes, and birdsong. As you trek uphill, the excitement builds with every step. And then—BOOM—the waterfall appears, crashing down in a private concert of nature. Chill here, take a dip if you dare, and soak in the last bit of Himachal before heading back. Total trek time: Around 45 Minutes Don’t litter because it’s a holy place, and leave only footprints behind. Head back to the Gushaini bus point or Banjar bus stand, take a shared ride or taxi to AUT, and from there, catch your return bus to Delhi. Pro Tip: Book your return bus for 6–7 PM from AUT to avoid any rush or delays.Trip Ends—But the Mountains Stay in Your Heart This 3-day Jibhi itinerary for Jalori Pass and Tirthan Valley offers everything: peaceful walks, thrilling treks, picture-perfect views, and a soul reset.
