Intro To Valley

Discover the magic of Tirthan Valley

Welcome to Tirthan Valley

Tirthan Valley Panorama

Tirthan Valley, nestled in the Kullu district of Himachal Pradesh, India, is a secluded paradise named after the crystal-clear Tirthan River that flows from the glacial springs of the Great Himalayan National Park. Ringed by dense deodar and pine forests, the valley sits at an elevation of around 1,600 m, offering travelers a serene retreat away from crowded hill stations. Its undisturbed landscapes provide a perfect backdrop for trout fishing, riverside camping, and exploratory treks to hidden gems like Serolsar Lake and Jalori Pass. Throughout the year, the valley’s character changes with the seasons: snow blankets the trails in winter, apple blossoms perfume the air in spring, and wildflowers carpet the meadows in summer. Beyond adventure, Tirthan Valley invites you to unwind in family-run homestays, indulge in locally sourced cuisine, and stargaze beside the river’s gentle murmur—an authentic slice of Himalayan tranquility.
