Jibhi and Ghiyagi

Jibhi is hardly a 2 hour journey away from Aut tunnel on the Delhi-Manali Highway. It lies in Banjar Valley and is at a distance of about 8-10 km from Banjar. There are lush green pine forests with a pristine waterfall in Jibhi. Jibhi is perfect for numerous short hikes close by and offers surreal mountain views encompassing traditional village life. Doli Guest House in Jibhi is an all time favourite with travellers.
There are quite a few places to stay in Jibhi and accommodation ranges from cottages to huts, to cheap homestays and guesthouses. Some of the top options to stay in Gushaini are the Rana's Cottage and Latoda Pine Huts that faces the river stream. Leena’s Home, a homestay in Jibhi, is quite popular for delicious home-cooked food. Average rates for double rooms are around INR 500-800 for a night.

Ghiyagi is a small hamlet located 4-5 kms away from Jibhi on the way to Shoja. It is so small that if you don't pay attention you will miss it, and that exactly is its charm! There are only a few places to stay in Ghiyagi and Shringi Vatika is highly recommended, there is a stream that runs right through this homestay kind of resort!
