Suggested itinerary

  1. DAY 01

    Arrive in Jibhi · Village & Waterfall

    Settle into Jibhi and take a gentle village walk. Later, follow the short forest-and-stream path to Jibhi Waterfall, with time to sit beside the water and explore the surrounding woodland.

  2. DAY 02

    Chehni Kothi · Forest & Himalayan Architecture

    Drive towards the Chehni/Bini side and walk through the forest to historic Chehni Kothi. Spend time appreciating its traditional stone-and-wood construction and village setting. Entry inside the tower may be restricted by local custom.

  3. DAY 03

    Bahu Village · Balu Nag Temple · Deodar Forest

    Travel to Bahu and walk through the forest towards Balu Nag Temple. Visit respectfully, as the temple is a living local place of worship, then return to Jibhi.

  4. DAY 04

    Jalori Pass · Raghupur Gadh · High Meadow

    Head up to Jalori Pass and begin the mountain walk towards Raghupur Gadh/Fort. The trail opens into high meadow and ridge country with broad Himalayan views. Allow a full day; weather, snow and road conditions affect access.

  5. DAY 05

    Slow Morning · Village Time · Departure
