As soon as we see a long weekend coming, we look out for places to go and relax. And honestly, most of us are tired of going to the regular popular hill stations, slowly because of increased tourism they have lost its charm. So if you are looking for a place that is calm and beautiful, Jibhi is the one. Jibhi is a slight known picturesque hamlet in the Tirthan Valley of Himachal Pradesh and can be reached from the Chandigarh-Manali Highway. The drive through this highway is extremely scenic with the river beas flowing along the gigantic Himalayan ranges which provide some breathtaking views.
It is a perfect place to chill and enjoy the lovely weather out there. The place is surrounded with greenery and when you are here you will feel peace.
Jibhi is a scenic, natural and old Himalayan village situated on the banks of the Tirthan River which is a tributary of Beas River. Jibhi has become fairly popular among Indian travelers in recent years.
