Tirthan Valley

Reviewed By Uniquesunny - New Delhi, India

The "New Normal" and a "New World" we are living in, but somethings just don't go away, for a person like me, its "travelling and exploring" . Since this pandemic started, people like me have been locked inside and working from home, the routine has just been, work, bed, back to work. I really wanted to break those shackles and wanted to have a break, a vacation, but not a "Sightseer" kind, rather a place I can have peace and really, "Do Nothing". As most of us do, research before you travel, and in these times, you really should do a thorough one. I won't go into the details but I found this property to be almost ticking every box. Due to loads of checking, a landslide causing a de-tour, took me 17 hours from Delhi, and reached at 10 PM. The owner, Mr. Panki Sood, was well connected with me on phone since the booking was done, which did help in getting more information, over and above a thought , someone is waiting for you Once reached, was happy to see that they are serious of following health norms, my stuff sanitized, temp check done, shoes to be taken off outside, and get my Covid test negative certificate. Also, for the first 3 days, good social distancing was maintained which does give a confidence, that they are serious in keeping themselves and the visiting guests safe. Spent few days just inside the property and loved the food, the views, the sound of the river which is practically touching the property. They have a dedicated kitchen which prepares homely food and hey, they take special requests, so if you want some good fish, non-veg dish or any local delicacy, just ask for it They also have a bonfire place and a good seating arrangement at different places where one can read a book or just relax. They also have a stream of fresh water, which I just loved. Having lived few days in trekking and tenting on remote hills, i know that these natural water stream have the best thing you can give to your body, purest form of water. Mr. Panki runs a school which is located just next to the property and in these difficult times, he is giving it back to the society by ensuring that local kids get what they need in that age, he also arrange volunteer session and virtual session for online studies. I really want to thank him for giving me an opportunity to talk to those kids and conduct a session through which I shared some of my own life experiences and take some lessons from the kids too To just close with the essence, this property gives you peace of mind over and above everything else you would like to be in your travel plans, along with those minutest details which brings a smile and make you thing, right choice made.

Great Himalayan National Park

Reviewed By 361aanchalk

went to GHNP for the trek with my two elder siblings and it was a time of our lifetime. It was in early october of 2019 when we went there and probably the best time to visit the place.We went with a local guide named Tek Singh. He achieves the impossible alongwith his team, what you get is a genuinely authentic GHNP experience without having to compromise at all on comfort or safety. GHNP is also rich in wildlife, incredible scenery & Tek Singh's amazing staff made all the way a better experience for us. I am glad to have found out about this place and would love to go again with Tek Singh and his team. You can contact the guide Tek Singh on his contact number +918318764151

Beas River

The Beas River also known as the Biás or Bias, is a river in north India. The river rises in the Himalayas in central Himachal Pradesh, India, and flows for some 470 kilometres to the Sutlej River in the Indian state of Punjab.

Reviewed By ama89pro - LaSalle, Canada

We thoroughly enjoyed our white water rafting excursion on the Beas River from the Nature Park in Jhiri. It was our first time doing this activity. But, our guide was fantastic and went above and beyond his duties to make sure that were safe and, above all, create and record an exciting memory of a lifetime! Set right in between stately mountains on either side of the river, our 12km rafting was absolutely thrilling and breath-taking, enhanced by sights of glorious eagles soaring just above us! Definitely a must for all! Be prepared to be in awe of God's endless beauty in creation!

Jogini Waterfall

Reviewed By Sartaj84

It is a very good trek to take with your family. I along with my wife and my two kids thoughroughly enjoyed the whole trail and the big Jogini waterfall on the top. It was tempting to take the dip in the pond formed by the fall - only if it was not chilly in October weather.

International Roerich Memorial Trust

Reviewed By Siddharthabiswas - Kolkata (Calcutta), India

If you are in Manali, make a point to visit this place. It is a couple of minutes drive from Naggar Castle. The place is simply lovely and is extremely well maintained. The gallery of paintings by Nicholas Roerich is interesting. The life of the man is worth knowing about. The institute's activities and its association with a new-born India should fascinate many. The lovely walk up to the Tribal Art Gallery is also great. I would recommend a visit to people who are interested in our immediate past.

Beautiful place to visit. Recommended on bike, if you like to drive, thrilling roads. Pine and deodars are feast for eyes. In November the colours of fall look beautiful through the entire ride from banjar to jalori.
