JIBBHI GAON

a small village on the road which connects the kullu valley to the kinnaur valley via the jalori pass.
on the mandi-manali road you reach a place called aut. from there instead of proceeding straight on towards manali you turn off towards banjar and onwards to jalori pass.
jibbhi gaon is 10 kms before jalori pass.

the valley there is the jalori-jyot valley.

a very nice place to stay in the village is the doli guest home.
run by mr. rana and his son guddu (who does the goa in the winters, himachal in the summers thing)
mr. rana used to be with the ITBP and since his retirement runs a trekking setup and an environmental ngo form jibbhi. they conduct treks in the area. wonderful trekking there.. week long, day long.. some lovely walks from jalori pass...the works.

the walk we did was from jalori pass to serolsar lake .. which is a 10km hike .. you can reach the lake by a walk from the pass along the ridge. the walk along the ridge is a treat since there is point where you get a 360deg view as well. from the lake you can walk back on the trail

doli has internet.. the fare is good, quite basic.
and there's a river just next to it.
