The Hidden Gem of Himachal Pradesh : Tirthan Valley

Called 'Himachal's Best Kept Secret', Tirthan Valley perched at an altitude of 1600 metres above sea level is the perfect

getaway destination blessed with a wealth of nature's tresures. Named after the pristine Tirthan river that flows across it, the

valley opens the doors to the newly recognized UNESCO World Heritage Site - The Great Himalayan National Park

(GHNP), spread over an area of 1100 sq kilometers. It is a paradise for trekkers, offering one of the finest trekking & hiking

opportunities in the world. Not to forget for bird lovers as well who spend days camping in the heart of this park. For not only

an escape from the overcrowded city life, but also an escape from the more-crowded Himachali getaways, it doesn’t get much

better than Tirthan.
