About this tour

 

Shimla, known as the Queen of Hills, is 7,250 feet in the majestic northwestern Himalayas. This picturesque Town is surrounded by dense pine and deodar forests, offering stunning views of the Greater Himalayas. Shimla’s name is derived from Shyamala Devi, a form of the Hindu Goddess Kali, and it gained prominence in 1819 when the British, seeking relief from the sweltering Indian summers, made it their summer capital in 1939. Shimla is not just a retreat from the heat; it’s a hub for adventure enthusiasts. Trekking and skiing opportunities abound at Narkanda and Kufri. The Naldehra Golf Course, nestled amidst thick forests, is emerging as a major attraction, drawing golfers and nature lovers alike. For those with a penchant for shopping, Shimla does not disappoint. The bustling Lakkar Bazaar is a treasure trove of cultural handicrafts, handloom items, and wooden artefacts. It’s also known for its various dry fruits and natural herbs, which are sought after for their medicinal properties. One of Shimla’s most distinguished accommodations is the Shimla British Resort, a heritage property epitomising colonial elegance. Established in the late 19th century, the resort boasts Scottish and British architectural designs, with cottages dating back to 1893. Initially built by a British engineer, the resort has changed hands over the years, including a period of ownership by the Nawab of Karachi. Today, it offers an exquisite blend of historic charm and modern luxury, with rooms overlooking dense cedar forests. The resort is a short distance from key landmarks, including Mall Road, just a stone’s throw away, and the iconic Victory Tunnel, only 2 km from the property. Despite its seclusion, it remains conveniently close to transportation hubs, 22 km from Shimla Airport and just 1 km from Shimla Railway Station. With its period furniture, crackling fireplaces, and a rooftop restaurant offering panoramic views, the Shimla British Resort provides guests with a luxurious retreat that captures the romance and adventure of the Himalayan landscape while providing a glimpse into Shimla’s colonial past.

Kasol, called ‘Mini Israel,’ is a picturesque town in the Parvati Valley of Himachal Pradesh, India, renowned for its beauty, vibrant culture, and popularity among backpackers and adventure enthusiasts. Located approximately 42 kilometres east of Kullu and sits at an altitude of 1,580 meters. The village’s unique charm lies in its tranquil atmosphere, the soothing sounds of the Parvati River, bustling streets lined with cafes serving Israeli cuisine, and the distinct blend of Israeli and Himachali cultures, with many Israelis residing harmoniously with the local population. Kasol’s allure extends to its natural attractions like the Challal Bridge and the nearby hiking trails, as well as its reputation for hosting lively trance parties, particularly during the summer, which is considered the best time to visit for those seeking a vibrant experience amidst the valley’s flora and fauna. However, winter offers a more peaceful retreat, with snow-covered landscapes and a quieter ambience. Originally a remote village sustained by agriculture, Kasol has blossomed into a sought-after tourist destination, drawing visitors with its scenic landscapes, rich cultural heritage, and a climate that offers warm summers, monsoon rains, and cold winters.

 

Tosh is a charming village at the end of the Parvati Valley in Himachal Pradesh, perched at approximately 7,874 feet. Renowned for its stunning natural beauty, Tosh offers incredible vistas of snow-capped peaks, vibrant greenery, and the tranquil Tosh River, which originates from the Tosh Glacier. The village is a favoured spot for nature enthusiasts and adventure seekers, who soak in the tranquillity and trek to nearby places like Kutla and Sar Pass. The journey from Kasol to Tosh is particularly scenic, featuring winding roads with steep drops into the valley and mesmerising Himalayan vistas. Tosh is accessible via a trek from Barshaini, the nearest bus stop, or by vehicle up to the village’s base, followed by a short uphill walk, unlike the neighbouring villages of Kalga and Pulga. Tosh’s charm lies in its natural surroundings and warm and hospitable locals who live in traditional wooden houses with slated roofs. The village’s economy is primarily driven by tourism, with local cafes and accommodations providing a glimpse into the simple yet vibrant life in the Himalayas. The best time to visit Tosh is in winter, around December or January, to experience its snow-covered beauty. However, the village is a year-round destination with a pleasant climate. The flora and fauna of the region, including native birds and colourful flowers like Himalayan Balsam and blue poppies, add to the village’s allure. Despite its popularity, Tosh retains a peaceful and quiet atmosphere, making it an ideal spot for relaxation and connection with nature.

Shimla is best for those who enjoy a laid-back atmosphere with colonial charm, a pleasant year-round climate, and easy access to attractions close to the city centre. However, it can be crowded and congested during peak seasons.

Like other popular destinations in Himachal Pradesh, such as Shimla and Dharamshala, Manali has seen a sharp increase in tourism recently, resulting in considerable overcrowding. This has resulted in frequent traffic jams, particularly during the summer months, and a shortage of parking spaces. The road between Manali and the Atal Tunnel, especially around Dhundi, is notorious for traffic congestion, making travel quite challenging.

Kasol stands out for its stunning Himalayan backdrop and proximity to several notable attractions. It is home to the UNESCO World Heritage site and Great Himalayan National Park. Kasol is also the gateway to popular treks such as the Kheerganga trek and Bun Bhuni, where lush trails lead to soothing sulphur hot springs, and the challenging Pin Parvati Pass for seasoned adventurers. Its scenic beauty and access to thrilling treks make Kasol a unique and compelling destination.

Kasol and Manali, both in Himachal Pradesh, offer distinct experiences. Manali is a bustling hill station renowned for its adventure activities, making it ideal for families and thrill-seekers. It features skiing in Solang Valley, trekking in Parvati Valley, and activities like paragliding and rafting. In contrast, Kasol is a tranquil, backpacker-friendly destination known for its natural beauty and spiritual ambience. Located in Parvati Valley, Kasol offers serene spots like the Chalal Trek Trail and Gurudwara Manikaran Sahib, catering to those seeking relaxation and connection with nature.

Two days in Kasol is enough time to explore key sites like the Chalal Trek Trail, Kheerganga Trek, and Gurudwara Manikaran Sahib and enjoy the peaceful atmosphere.

The right time to visit Kasol is from March to June, making it ideal for camping and trekking. This period is peak season, so expect some crowds. July to September offers moderate weather, perfect for trekking and enjoying the Himalayan views.

Kasol, often called "Mini Israel," has earned this nickname due to its significant Israeli tourist population and the blend of Israeli-Indian culture. Over the past decade, Israelis have increasingly visited and settled in Kasol. This influx has not only made Kasol a popular destination for Israeli travellers. Still, it has also boosted the local economy by generating employment in the hospitality sector and fostering cultural exchange between Israelis and the local community.

Tosh is famous for its stunning natural beauty, breathtaking views of the Parvati Valley, serene atmosphere, vibrant local culture, charming wooden houses, and trekking opportunities.

The best way to reach Tosh is by bus or cab. First, take a bus or taxi to Manali and get off at Bhuntar, about 50 kilometres from Manali. From there, catch a bus or taxi to Barshaini. From Barshaini, you can enjoy a short, scenic trek up to Tosh, known for its stunning beauty.

The best time to visit Tosh depends on your preferences.  Summer (April–June) offers pleasant weather and lush greenery, ideal for camping and trekking. However, due to tourist demand, accommodations may be pricier.  Autumn (September–November) provides mild weather and vibrant landscapes, perfect for outdoor activities and witnessing autumn colours.  Winter (December–February) turns Tosh into a picturesque snow-covered paradise, but be prepared for freezing temperatures.

Tosh Valley is stunning year-round, but the best times to visit are February, April, May, June, September, and early October. Choose February if you want to experience snow and potentially catch a live snowfall.

Jibhi is famous for its natural beauty, serene atmosphere, and traditional charm. The village is known for its adventure activities like hiking and fishing and is close to attractions such as Jalori Pass, Serolsar Lake, and the Great Himalayan National Park. Local highlights include Jibhi Waterfall, Serolsar Lake, Raghupur Fort, and the scenic village of Gada Gushaini. The hidden gem Mini Thailand features a unique structure resembling a secluded beach.

Jibhi is called "Mini Thailand" due to its natural rock formations that resemble a secluded beach. Locally known as "Kulhi Katandi" or "Veer Ri Aal," these formations consist of two large rocks stacked with flowing water, creating a natural pool. The area's serene vibe and stunning landscape, including waterfalls, dense forests, and sweet water lakes, evoke a tropical feel similar to Thailand, which is why it's given this nickname.

Jibhi is a charming village in the Banjar Valley of Kullu District in Himachal Pradesh, India. Situated at an altitude of 1,510 meters, it’s enveloped by lush greenery and offers a serene escape into the Himalayas. Nestled 100 kilometres from Manali and 60 kilometres from Mandi, Jibhi is accessible via the Chandigarh-Manali route and is close to Bhuntar Airport, about 60 kilometres away.

Jibhi and Manali each offer unique experiences, but Jibhi is generally considered better for those seeking tranquillity and fewer crowds. Jibhi, a lesser-known town in the Banjar Valley, Jibhi provides a tranquil setting surrounded by lush greenery and features outdoor activities such as hiking, fishing, and bouldering. It's perfect for couples, families, and groups seeking a peaceful escape with options for camping and stargazing. In contrast, Manali is a popular destination with bustling neighbourhoods and attractions like Vashisht Temple, Hadimba Temple, Solang Valley, Rohtang Pass and Gulaba. If you prefer a quieter, nature-focused getaway away from the busy tourist spots, Jibhi may be the better choice.

To reach Jibhi from Delhi, the most convenient option is to take a bus to Manali and get off at Aut. From Aut, you can hire a cab or catch another bus to Banjar, about 8 kilometres before Jibhi, and then catch a cab to Jibhi. Alternatively, you can drive from Delhi to Jibhi, which is approximately 499 kilometres and takes around 12-13 hours. The route includes scenic views and passes through towns like Panipat, Karnal, and Mandi.

To travel from Manali to Jibhi, you can take a taxi or a local bus. The distance between Manali and Jibhi is approximately 103 kilometres, and the journey typically takes 3 to 4 hours by road. Taxis are readily available and provide a more convenient and direct option, while local buses offer a budget-friendly alternative that may take a bit longer and require transfers.
