Detailed Day‑Wise Itinerary
Day 1: Delhi to Jibhi – Scenic Drive into the Mountains
Begin your Himachal road trip from Delhi with a private cab journey towards Jibhi.
The route takes you through the plains and gradually into the Himalayan foothills before reaching the quieter mountain landscapes around Jibhi and Tirthan Valley.
After checking into your accommodation in Jibhi, spend the evening relaxing beside the river or exploring the village.
Day 2: Jibhi & Tirthan Valley Exploration
Start your morning surrounded by cedar forests and mountain scenery.
Visit Jibhi Waterfall, one of the area’s most popular natural attractions, and explore the traditional wooden architecture of the village.
You can also spend time around the Tirthan River and nearby villages, or simply enjoy a relaxed day away from the crowds.
For travellers interested in a little adventure, optional local walks and short hikes can be arranged.
Day 3: Jalori Pass & Serolsar Lake Trek
Today takes you higher into the mountains.
Drive towards Jalori Pass, a spectacular mountain pass surrounded by dense forests and Himalayan views. Himachal Tourism describes Jalori as a scenic pass separating the catchments of the Sutlej and Beas rivers, with a popular hiking route leading towards Serolsar Lake.
From Jalori Pass, take the optional hike to Serolsar Lake, passing through beautiful oak and rhododendron forests.
Return to Jibhi in the evening.
Important: Jalori Pass is seasonal and can be closed to traffic during heavy winter snowfall. The exact itinerary may therefore be adjusted according to road and weather conditions.
Day 4: Jibhi to Shangarh – Enter the Sainj Valley
Leave Jibhi behind and drive towards Shangarh in Sainj Valley.
As you move away from the busier tourist routes, the landscape becomes increasingly peaceful, with forested slopes, traditional villages and open mountain meadows.
On arrival, check into your accommodation and explore the famous Shangarh Meadow.
The evening is perfect for a relaxed walk and enjoying the mountain sunset.
Day 5: Explore Shangarh & Sainj Valley
Spend a slower day discovering the surroundings of Shangarh.
Visit the historic Shangchul Mahadev Temple, explore village trails and enjoy views across the expansive meadow.
You can also take nature walks through the surrounding forests and visit nearby waterfalls depending on local conditions.
This is deliberately one of the quieter days of the itinerary, giving you time to experience rural Himachal rather than rushing from one attraction to another.
Day 6: Shangarh to Kasol – Into Parvati Valley
After breakfast, continue your Himachal road trip towards Kasol.
The drive takes you into the Parvati Valley, where the landscape changes dramatically as the valley narrows around the Parvati River.
After checking in, explore Kasol’s cafés, local market and riverside surroundings.
Kasol is situated along the Parvati River and has developed into a popular base for travellers exploring Parvati Valley.
Day 7: Kasol – Manikaran / Tosh / Kheerganga
This day can be customised according to your interests:
- Manikaran Sahib
Visit Manikaran Sahib, an important Sikh pilgrimage site known for its hot springs and location beside the Parvati River. - Tosh Village
Drive towards Barshaini and explore Tosh, a scenic mountain village with impressive views of the surrounding valley. - Kheerganga
For travellers looking for adventure, undertake the Kheerganga Trek, subject to trail conditions and local regulations.
Return to Kasol by evening for riverside relaxation and café hopping.
Day 8: Kasol to Dharamshala / McLeod Ganj
Leave Parvati Valley and continue towards Dharamshala.
The journey takes you through the changing landscapes of Himachal before reaching the Dhauladhar mountains.
After checking into your accommodation around Dharamshala or McLeod Ganj, spend the evening exploring the cafés, markets and peaceful mountain streets.
Day 9: Dharamshala & McLeod Ganj Sightseeing

Dharamshala is one of Himachal Tourism’s major destinations and offers a distinctive combination of mountain scenery and Tibetan cultural influences.
Day 10: Triund Trek or Relaxed Dharamshala Day
Adventure seekers can opt for the Triund Trek, one of the most popular hikes around Dharamshala, offering spectacular views towards the Dhauladhar range.
If you prefer a relaxed holiday, skip the trek and spend the day exploring McLeod Ganj, Dharamkot and nearby cafés, viewpoints and monasteries.
