the pass, the lake and the trout valley
The Jalori Pass, the emerald Serolsar lake and the trout streams of Tirthan — an easy-trek journey into the quiet Banjar country.
The Jalori Pass, the emerald Serolsar lake and the trout streams of Tirthan — an easy-trek journey into the quiet Banjar country.
Beyond Kullu’s crowds lies the Banjar country — the Jalori Pass ringed with prayer flags, the still green water of Serolsar lake and the trout streams of the Tirthan valley. This is a gentle, private journey for travellers who want mountains without the rush.
Over five unhurried days you drive up to the pass, walk through old oak forest to Serolsar, and settle into riverside stays where dinner is fresh trout. Every drive, walk and stay is arranged for you, and the pace is entirely yours.
