Travel deep into the unknown territory where we at Banjara promise to show you the most wonderful side of our country known only to very few. Your journey starts from Thanedar, the birthplace of apples in India and an orchard town. The Banjara retreat amidst the orchards is a serene place perfect for unwinding.

Driving from Thanedar, we reach one of the most beautiful valleys of Kinnaur - Sangla known for its massive towering mountains on all sides and the beautiful Baspa river with good opportunities for trout fishing. From one amazing destination to another, we reach Shoja, ahead of Jalori Pass. Tall Silver oak trees, filling the road side with Blue Iris, are a sight to behold.

The place is again an angler’s paradise, due to its proximity to the Tirthan River which also abounds in the trout. Besides, it also provides breathtaking sceneries and walks to nearby lakes and forts. Go on to Manali, the queen of all hill stations to give that icing to your holiday cake and to take back the best of memories and mementos home.

This is the last village on the old Indo-Tibetan trade route. Lunch along the glacier-fed mountain stream.

After breakfast, leave for Shoja, 5kms ahead of the 3,223m high Jalori Pass. In summer, the Silver Oak forest along the road is full of blue Iris. Spend the night at the Banjara Retreat, Shoja.

Walk through Jalori Pass to Serolsar Lake.
