Tranquil Tirthan
October 1, 2022 @ 2:00 pm – October 7, 2022 @ 5:00 pm
Save as PDFWe are delighted to bring you our second trip to Tirthan.
Tirthan Valley is an unexplored, unspoilt part of Himachal Pradesh. Named for the Tirthan River which flows nearby, the valley is quiet and beautiful and has options for high energy activities as well as relaxing, leisurely moments.
We start from Chandigarh- stay a night there and head to Tirthan bright and early the next day. We drive through the conifered hills and reach out hotel by late afternoon. A homestay in the great Himalayan national park eco zone is our home for the next few days.
Our itinerary includes Chaini Kothi- a huge tower-like structure located in Chaini village. Chaini Fort is supposed to have been originally built in 17th century as a defensive structure and garrisoning structure. Chaini Kothi was originally a 7-storey tower structure but got damaged in the earthquake of 1905 and its top two towers fell off. This is one of the tallest structures built in the traditional local architecture in entire Himachal Pradesh. Chaini Kothi is still more than 45 m tall. The village is delightfully pretty with wheat fields and women working on traditional shawl making machines.
We will visit Chhoie Waterfall and possibly the river front. A hike to Serolsar Lake and a picnic in a meadow are part of our Tranquil Tirthan getaway.
We head back to Chandigarh with a night’s halt at Anandpur Sahib.
This divine town, also houses a fabulous contemporary museum documenting the history of the Sikh religion – Virasat- e -Khalsa
Far from the bustle of the plains, Tirthan will revive and rejuvenate you.
