Introduction
One of the very few still easily accessible but mainly undiscovered regions of Himachal is Tirthan Valley . Tirthan Valley will be the ideal option for you if you were thinking about taking a trip soon and wanted to see a unique location with fewer tourists.
In a sense, the entire state of Himachal is a list of tourist attractions. Shimla, Manali, and Dalhousie are a few of these locations that are well-known and among the most popular tourist destinations in our nation. However, there are lots of other locations that not many people are aware of.
Tirthan Valley Information
To give a brief overview, the Tirthan Valley is a valley in Himachal Pradesh that is situated roughly 250 kilometers from Chandigarh and 65 kilometers from Mandi. The area is so named because it is situated along the banks of the river “Tirthan.”
It is the ideal vacation for anyone wishing to spend some time in solitude and away from the crowds because, at an average altitude of 1600 meters, the valley’s weather is nice for the majority of the year. The valley is a haven for trekkers, birdwatchers, and anyone with an interest in either wildlife or photography because it is the entrance to the Great Himalayan National Park.I’ll go into depth on how to organize a trip to this location in this post, including how to get there, where to stay, what to see, and other helpful hints.
What city is Tirthan Valley in?
About 100 kilometers from Manali and 65 kilometers from Mandi, in the Himachal Pradesh district of Kullu, is where you’ll find Tirthan Valley. About 38 kilometers after Mandi and shortly before Aut Tunnel, a road splits off in the direction of Tirthan Valley as you make your way from Mandi to Manali. Don’t go through the tunnel. Instead, keep going in the direction of Larji and then turn onto the road that leads to Tirthan Valley.
Can one visit Tirthan Valley without fear?
It is definitely safe to visit Tirthan Valley, to answer your question directly. I’ve always thought that everyone is responsible for their own safety. It is motivated by their own assessments, choices, and deeds. The Tirthan Valley also falls under the same regulation.
Getting to Tirthan Valley
Tirthan Valley can only be accessible by road because of its location in the highlands, but getting there is not too challenging. You may access the valley’s interior via the well-maintained road that connects it to the rest of the nation. To reach here, you can either take a personal vehicle or use public transportation.
The best method to get to Tirthan Valley is obviously by car, but there are also public transportation options including buses, shared taxis, and private taxis if that wasn’t an option.
Tirthan Valley’s prime travel season
When is the Best Time to Visit Tirthan Valley is another piece I wrote where I went into great length on this subject. But in brief, it’s recommended to organize a vacation to the Tirthan Valley during the months of April and June. But your visit’s purpose will also play a role in this.
To find a snow-covered valley and potentially witness a live snowfall, for instance, one should make plans in either January or February. The best months to visit would be April, May, and June if you want to take advantage of the nice weather and adventurous activities.
Things to Do in the Tirthan Valley
In my essay Places to Visit in Tirthan Valley & Things to Do, I went into great detail on this subject. For a thorough overview of all the tourist attractions in Tirthan Valley, kindly read this post. However, I’ll list the locations below for a brief summary.
Outstanding Himalayan National Park
Pass of Jalori
Lake Seruvalsar (Sirolsar lake)
Temple of Budhi Nagin
Fort Raghupur
“Chani Koth”
Temple of Shringa Rishi
Culture
The Tirthan valley is home to a number of Hindu temples, tree shrines, and holy sites. Every community in this area has a native deity called a “devta.” These gods have a fascinating past and are significant in village life. Attending local festivals and celebrations in the valley is a unique experience.
Itinerary for the Tirthan Valley
Last but not least, allow me to offer a sample itinerary that you may use for your visit here. For the purposes of this route, I’ll suppose that you arrived from Delhi. However, only the first and last days of the trip would be different if you were traveling from a different city. The remaining information will still be relevant.
Day 1: Delhi to Narkanda
Day 2: Jalori Pass from Narkanda to Tirthan Valley
Day 3 of the Tirthan Valley sightseeing
Day 4: Tirthan Valley to Delhi via Mandi
You can also make this journey going the other direction. You can travel from Mandi to Tirthan Valley and back to Shimla. You would have to travel via Mandi and return that way if you were traveling during the winter because Jalori Pass is closed during that time.
You have two options for sightseeing in Tirthan Valley: either hike into the Great Himalayan National Park (GHNP) to view the neighborhood waterfalls. As an alternative, you could unwind by the river. Chaini Kothi is a straightforward and easy trek as well. You could drive to Jalori Pass and then hike to Sirolsar lake if you were taking a private taxi.
Another option is to arrange a day trip to Kasol or Manikaran Sahib and then come back to Tirthan in the evening.
