Geography & terrain

Jibhi lies in the Banjar valley of the Kullu district in Himachal Pradesh at about 2,000 m, 55 km from Aut and 400 km from Delhi — the offbeat hamlet of the Tirthan country, its stream-side cottages, the old wooden temples and the apple orchards set in the valley's green.

History & culture

The hamlet's story runs with the Kullu's mountain life — the village of the apple and the potato country, with the hamlet's wooden temple of the local deities and the traditional houses of the valley; the hamlet's modern growth as the offbeat stay of the Tirthan circuit, with the stream-side cottages and the treks of the hills, gives Jibhi its quiet-hamlet character.
