The Plan
Three Days, Your Way
Day 1
Arrival at Jibhi
- Arrival and check-in at Lato The Hut, Chauhan Palace — welcome drink, welcome lunch, and a trip briefing covering everything you need to know for the days ahead.
- A short, easy walk to Mini-Thailand (Kulhi Katandi) — turquoise river pools tucked into the forest, best enjoyed in the softer afternoon light.
- On to Chehni Kothi — an ancient five-storey wood-and-stone watchtower reached by a short forest climb, with sweeping golden-hour views over the valley.
- Evening at leisure: a welcome bonfire dinner at the property, or a wander through Jibhi's treehouse cafés — your call.
Day 1 is deliberately the lightest day of the trip — no strenuous trekking, whatever time you roll in.
Day 2
Shoja · Jalori Pass · Branch Trek · DJ Techno Night
- Early breakfast, then a drive to Shoja village and the Sringa Rishi Temple — a quiet, scenic first stop.
- On to Jalori Pass (2,848m) — prayer flags, panoramic photo stops, and the trailhead for the day's big choice.
- Choose one: the Jalori Pass & Serolsar Lake Trek (the "Ye Jawani Hai Deewani" trek) — an easy forest walk to an alpine lake with a packed lunch — OR the Raghupur Fort Trek, a shorter viewpoint climb from the same trailhead.
- An unhurried rest block back at the property to recover before the night's main event.
- DJ Techno Night — a curated set on the riverside deck, bonfire, dinner served through the night.
These two treks share a trailhead and are offered as alternatives, not a combo — pick the one that matches your pace.
Day 3
Tirthan Valley · River Rafting · Departure
- A later, easier start — breakfast, then a short drive to Tirthan Valley (Gushaini / Nagini).
- Choose one: Guided Fishing at Tirthan (permit + local guide included, catch-and-release) — OR a Tirthan Valley walk and Kuthachi village tour, past suspension bridges and riverside cafés. Both groups reconvene afterward.
- Back to the property for check-out and a farewell lunch, then on the road toward Kullu.
- River Rafting on the Pirdi–Jhiri stretch — beginner-friendly, certified operator, life jackets and helmets included. Everyone rafts, no choice needed here.
- Onward journey home — Delhi-bound guests head back by evening; Lucknow-bound guests continue overnight.
