  • ⚠️ Don’t make the Aut Tunnel mistake: Many GPS apps direct drivers into the tunnel, which leads to Mandi bypass and adds unnecessary distance. Always take the Banjar turn-off before the tunnel.

    The Delhi to Jibhi roads are well-paved up to Mandi, with NH305 offering a narrow but drivable mountain route from Aut to Jibhi.

    Key road conditions (June 2026 update):

    • NH305 from Aut to Banjar is prone to landslides during monsoon (July–September).
    • June is off-season: Occasional light rain, but roads are generally clear. Expect misty mornings and lush greenery.
    • Aut to Jibhi distance: 56 km, taking 1.5 hours via NH305 through Larji and Banjar.

    Tirthan Valley is known for:

    • Trout fishing (permit required from Fisheries Dept at Banjar or Larji)
    • Great Himalayan National Park buffer zone — begins at the riverbank
    • Traditional wooden homestays and offbeat tourism

    🌄 Ideal for travelers moving from Manali’s busy slopes to Jibhi’s serene Ailyak pace.

    • Kasol to Jibhi distance: 100 km, taking 3–4 hours via Kasol → Bhuntar → Aut Tunnel → Banjar → Jibhi

    🚍 Many travelers combine Kasol and Jibhi for a contrast: vibrant cafes in Kasol vs. forested stillness in Jibhi.
