Jibhi Waterfalls

Mountain Getaway: The Magic Of Jibhi Waterfalls, 2 h 46 min (82.7 km) via NH3 and NH305(from Mandi). At this time it was a small town called Jibhi in Himachal. It lies in the Banjar Valley where the Tirthan river flows.
The Valley is very gorgeously placed.
While coming from Shoja just crossing Jibhi you will find this water falls inside the forest which cannot be viewed from the road.
You will have to walk about 5-10 mins to reach near the falls.
The place is neatly done with wooden lovely small bridges over the stream which is flowing down from the water falls.
The area at the water falls is also nicely paved with stone and cement.
So it appears like pool where you would feel like swimming.
Surrounding the falls its deep forest in all direction.
Ambiance is wonderful.
That's where you get down for Jibhi Waterfalls.As you enter Jibhi, a handful of posters for angling tours remind you that the gurgling streams of the Banjar and Tirthan valleys are famous for trout fishing.These quaint Himalayan villages are a crazy mix of people, legends and unique architecture.
This trail will drop you into wide scenic vistas of rolling mountains and rich terrace farms, each a different shade of green, as if the signature of the farmer tending the soil.
Nature seems to be in harmony with a happy people.During summer (Mar-May), the temperature in Jibhi is pleasant, and rarely goes above 30°C.During the monsoon (Jun-Sep), the forests are resplendent, but be prepared for torrential showers and landslides that may block mountain roads.
Autumn days (Oct-Nov) are mostly pleasant with a nip in the air early in the morning and evening. Temperatures range between 15°C-25°C.Winter (Dec-Feb) is very cold, and temperatures can plummet below freezing at night.
Daytime temperatures range between 5°C on cloudy days and 15°C on sunny days.There is a good chance of snowfall as well.
