How to reach Tirthan Valley

If you’re coming from a major city like Delhi, arranging a road trip is the best method to get to Tirthan Valley. Alternatively, you can take a train to the closest stations (Ambala or Kiratpur), where you can then take a bus or arrange a taxi to get to your destination. Bhuntar Airport is the closest one (Two hours ride from Tirthan Valley). When travelling by bus from Delhi or Chandigarh, get out at Aut (which is 3 hours from Manali and 19 kilometres from Bhuntar), then take a cab or a local bus to Banjar or Jibhi. The 30 mile trip from Aut to Tirthan Valley would set you back between 800 and 1000 INR. You will be charged INR 40–50 for a local bus.

Best time to reach Tirthan Valley

The spring/summer season, from March to June, is the ideal time to visit the mesmerising Tirthan Valley. The temperature remains agreeably cold and is ideal for exploring the local flora and animals, particularly the apple orchards and beautiful green meadows. The winter months of November, December, January, and February could also be a great time to visit the valley, especially if you’re seeking for a place that can withstand icy temperatures and precipitation. Beginning in June/July and lasting until August is the monsoon season. The area experiences moderate to heavy precipitation and transforms into a stunning environment, but the explorers find it difficult to navigate because of the drastically reduced visibility.

Food of Tirthan Valley

There are no eating establishments, restaurants, or dhabas outside of hotels, resorts, or guest houses in Tirthan Valley due to its tiny size. However, Banjar, which is some distance from Tirthan Valley, may have restaurants.
