Snuggled comfortably in an armchair, I finish my second cup of ginger lemon tea. Dark clouds hover over a sunny day, and soon enough, a drizzle turns into a downpour. As I sit there looking at the raindrops caressing the pine leaves, I am lulled to sleep by the pitter-patter.
An hour’s drive away from the Great Himalayan National Park, the virgin village of Jibhi will never fail to offer you the solace you are seeking. With all the trappings of a hill station – the idea of cool comfort, far from the sweltering heat of cities – Jibhi in Banjar valley in the Kullu district, is slowly climbing up the ladder of popularity. Jibhi provides a great base for hiking, fishing, or just enjoying the outdoors. There is no sign of commercialisation, yet. Wander off a trail and you will probably find yourself facing a secluded waterfall or a stream.
Towards the sacred lake
On my first morning here, I hired a cab to drive me up a serpentine and treacherous road to the beautiful Jalori Pass, perched high up (an altitude of over 10,000 feet) in Himachal’s Karsog Valley. This high mountain pass is also the prelude to a beautiful hiking trail towards the tranquil Serolsar Lake.
