Tirthan Valley
Multiple times during our trip , Tirthan Valley in Himanchal Pradesh India, reminded us of our Switzerland trip. Tirthan Valley is still untouched and serene place to visit in Kullu District of Himanchal Pradesh. You will be surrounded by snow clad peaks, rivers and the Himalayan mountains. Best time to visit will be from April to Early June.While planning our trip to Himalayas, I consulted a travel agent who recommended me Tirthan Valley to enjoy nature instead of Shimla or Manali.
Our itinerary was as follows
Chandigarh
Fight from Bangalore, One night stay and road trip to Shimla. Visit to Rock garden and shopping in Sector 17.
Shimla
2 nights stay with visit to Kurf. In earlier days, tourist used to vouch Shimla, Kullu and Manali for beauty and nature, however the beauty of these places is nowadays hidden behind cluster of hotels.

Manali
2 nights stay. One day visit to Gulaba and then paragliding at Solang Valley.
Location
You need to drive in direction of Kullu or Manali. We drove from Shimla early morning and it took us around 6 to 7 hours. Just before the tunnel to Kullu there is right turn which will guide you to Banjar. The road narrows down to one lane as we take the turn and one has to plan the journey in day time.Hotel Stay
I had consulted a tour agent and was recommended Hotel Trishala Resort on the banks of the river Tirthan. The resort is managed by a young chap Manu Negi. One can directly call him and do the bookings. There are lot of options available on the banks of the river in the Banjar village based on your budget and liking.We had very comfortable stay.The rooms were little smaller to accommodate two adults and one child, however there are many things to explore around and outside so we are inside the room only at night. It barely made much difference to us as our focus was to enjoy nature.The stay was very comfortable. They also provide heater in the room on request.
The food was delicious and home cooked. They server breakfast and lunch at eating place which is built inside the river bed on the rocks. Sipping hot cup of tea early morning almost sitting in the river bed in Himalayas raises the experience bar to different level.
We reached the hotel in evening, we were welcomed with hot cup of tea and some snacks. We strolled around the river bed. This was followed by dinner.
Choi Waterfall Trek
It is advisable to carry some light towels to dry your self and quick snacks along with you.
Walking along the river bed
Great Himalayan National Park Trek
It is a 2 days trek in the Great Himalayan National Park. As per feedback of other fellow tourist its worth it. We gave it a miss as we were doubtful if our 7 year old son would be able to cope up with the cold temperature. I definitely repent it. And do plan to complete it some time later.The Trsihala Hotel team will have their people as escorts. Accommodation is in tents and food etc is well arranged.
