Tirthan vally
The village of Jibhi is one of the unexplored places in the state of Himachal Pradesh located in Tirthan valley. It is located at an elevation of 1600m, 51250 ft and 70 km from Mandi. Tourists can enjoy this place away from the crowd, and commercial attributes.
In Self-Drive Car
There are two routes. One that takes you via the State Highway 13 (or the Mandi-Manali Road) until Aut tunnel before bifurcating towards the Tirthan Valley. This route is easy to drive/navigate and remains open 365 days a year. Google, moreover, suggests you take this route.
The other route will take you to Delhi-Chandigarh-Shimla-Jalori Pass-Jibhi, it is comparatively longer and may remain close during winter.
If you want the drive to be easier and shorter, take the road that goes you via Aut Tunnel. If you want the drive to be the more scenic route, take the road that goes via Jalori Pass.
How To Travel From Chandigarh
Again, the same two routes mentioned above.
If you want the drive to be easier and shorter, take the road that goes you via Aut Tunnel. If you want the drive to be the more scenic route, take the road that goes via Jalori Pass.
Jibhi is surrounded by bunches of pine and deodar trees where you can enjoy a quiet soothing night in the foothills of the Himalayas. In the winters, the temperature drops down below normal level that making the place look like heaven.
Tourists experience snowfall almost every day in the valleys with amazing shots on camera. The Tirthan River flows between the villages that give an ancient touch to it. The majority of homestays and hotels are constructed with wood so that the rooms remain warm.
Malta trees are present in the backyard of every locale's house. Some of the terrains in this village are meant for trekking. Now, it is considered as one of the hills stations with its fascinating nature. You will remain forever grateful to Himachal Pradesh after visiting this place.

Best Time To Travel
It depends on what you want, to be honest.
If the idea is to travel during the most pleasant weather and you don’t mind travelling during peak season, the best time to travel Jibhi would be somewhere between April and June.
If however, you want to travel during pleasant weather but don’t want too many people around, travel between September and early November. October will be the best month between September & November as it’s Apple plucking season in Tirthan & Banjar Valley. Enjoy some freshly plucked juicy apples when around.
If you want to see snow and experience snowfall, visit during January & February.
The summer holiday months of May & June, the special dates like the New Year & Christmas, and long weekends are when I would say is the bad time to visit Jibhi because of wave upon waves of tourists who get there.
Where To Stay In Jibhi
When it comes to accommodation, be assured that there is something for everyone.
