Trip to Tirthan Valley, Gushaini, H.P.
It was a hot sweltering summer afternoon in Delhi at +45 degrees. I received a call from one of my customers to take him on a solo trip to Tirthan Valley in Himachal Pradesh. The trip was exhilarating for both of us. When we reached Tirthan after taking a right turn from Aut, the entire strip of the road was accompanying the river alongside.
While driving we could see many tourists standing in the river and using their anglers for Trout fishing. This part of the country has Trout fishes which is not a native fish of India.
On reaching the destination we were surprised that there was no road to the home stay cottage. We had to cross the rapid river to reach the home stay, and the only way to reach is to sit on a iron chair hanging over ropes, and an attendant across the river will pull the rope. What an Experience !!! Never before experience !!! Check out this video here.
We had a warm reception by the Cottage owner and manager. On reaching inside, we were amazed on the wide variety of cottages they had built both near the river and on the hill. I liked the view from the hill. The home stay had both veg and non-veg in their menu for guests. The cab drivers have to make their own stay arrangements which is a mile walk from the cottage in a Dhaba in local market. This trip is a once in a lifetime must have experience 🙂
