Located in the Kullu district, Tirthan Valley takes its name from the Tirthan River that originates from the icy glaciers of a snow-capped peak called Hanskund in the Great Himalayan National Park (GHNP).When it comes to natural beauty, everything here is almost untouched and unharmed from the adverse effects of human civilization. The beauty of the Tirthan River as it traverses dense green forests of Western Himalayas to meet the Beas River at Larji is something that you can’t miss. This is because the water follows you wherever you go alongside the National Highway.You will see several small stops, cottage style dhabas and cute tea stalls studded along the road and the backdrop of quaint villages is just icing on top. In summer, it’s cool climate is a relief from the scorching heat of the plains; in winter, it’s a delight to see pristine snow everywhere and in monsoon, the place blooms with freshness and fragrance of natural goodness.
