An incredible place to see and visit. Unfortunately, I have not visited yet, would love to visit this place.
Tirthan Valley is perhaps one of the best kept secrets of Himachal. Some trips just don’t seem to get over. Our visit to Tirthan Anglers’ Retreat is like that – we can’t stop talking about that. Last year I celebrated my birthday in Himachal. The route from Banjar to Jalori Pass was, in one word – breathtaking. The deep valley below had the river dancing by and pine and other trees completely covered the mountain. Unknown flowers – mauve – orange and pink, but very little white, punctuated the flora. Occasional mist, we drove into, made the journey surreal. It seemed that even before reaching Jalori Pass, our day was made! Thanks for refreshing my memory
Tirthan Valley is an amazing place – nature, mountains and adventure, all rolled into one. Thanks for sharing all the attractions of the place.
I have never been to Thirthan Valley and would love to go explore that place. Thanks for these 10 things I will make a note of them so I can use them while planning.
One of the things I badly want to do on tirthan valley is trout fishing .. it seems so much fun to do pick a fresh fill and cook it .. do they allow cooking out of it or it is just for the game purpose ..
