Overview


This festive season, Celebrate the New Year by ticking off that Backpacking Trip on your bucket list that you keep postponing by joining us on our exclusive Himachal Explorer edition trip.  

Switch your party blazers with the blaze of a campfire in the heart of the great Himalayas and let us tell you all about the once-in-a-year 10-day trip that is the Himachal Explorer Edition. 

The terrain of this hilly state begins with the scenic view of the Shivalik range, expanding its snowy tapestry to McLeodGanj district and the outskirts of Dharamshala city. Because of its mystifying valleys, ceaselessly flowing rivers, and ivory mountains, it has become one of the most popular destinations among travelers.

 

On the Himachal Explorer Edition, we begin our journey from the famous Majnu ka Tila bus stands in New Delhi for an overnight drive to Mcleodganj. To make sure that you get the most authentic experience, we take you to see the sparkling  Bhagsunag Waterfalls, followed by a stroll through the Tibetan market, and let you explore the array of cafes and restaurants Mcleodganj has to offer. The festivities would kickstart on the second day itself as in the evening, we'd celebrate Christmas by indulging in celebrations with DJ, Food, Cake, a Bonfire, and more. Our next stop, Bir, is famous among all adventure enthusiasts for being the best rendezvous point for having a paragliding session, providing a high altitude of 8000ft as its take-off spot which is the Highest Paragliding Take Off point in Asia and only the Second Highest in the World. Being that high will surely make you feel like you are on top of the world! Then, we take our expedition through the picturesque Tirthan Valley as we head towards Jibhi for a relaxed evening all while enjoying the sight of pine forests, cedar trees, and elevated slopes embellished by wooden houses covered in thick powdered snow. On our fifth day, we start the Trek to Jalori pass which ends on a soul-fulfilling note as you witness the magic of Serolsar Lake and come into contact with the spiritual essence that the visit to Shringa Rishi Temple has to offer.

 

Before moving on to our next adventure, we take a breather and spend a day full of leisure in Kasol to relax and hop through the various cafes. However, if you are still riding the adrenaline high, we will take you hiking to Chalaal and stay overnight at Kasol. We will also visit the Manikaran Temple/Gurudwara which is a sacred pilgrimage center for both Hindus and Sikhs. The next excursion will be extra special because, by the time you reach this enthralling destination, you will be counting down the hours until the New Year! After spending a night at Kasol, we will head towards the greatest gift the Himalayas have to offer,  the humble abode of the Valley of the gods that is Manali. Since this popular hill station has a lot of tourist attractions, like the renowned Mall road, Hadimba temple, Vashist Hot water springs, etc at its disposal, we take you for local sightseeing so that you get the most out of this experience. In the evening, we'll celebrate New Year in Manali with a DJ, Groovy music, scrumptious meals, and good company. 

 

And what better way is there to start the New year than riding the adrenaline high that only Solang Valley can offer, with its variety of adventure sports like Skiing, Zipline, and ATV bike rides And, if you want to try something different and unique, you can always opt for Zorbing! All this kick and rush of endorphins will definitely leave you in need of a much-needed relaxation time and once you have recharged your batteries, we will start our return journey.  If you have been waiting for the right time, wait no more, because this is the best time to visit Himachal and unravel all of its mysteries.

Tees / Tshirts:

You must keep at least three pairs of quick dry tees so that you can wash them in between stops for proper hygiene.

Poncho:

A poncho is an evolved form of a raincoat that provides coverage to your body as well as your bag and ensures total water protection from rain.

What our Clients Say About Us

Did the "Himanchal Explorer Edition" with Justwravel around the Christmas and New years. Was initially apprehensive on travelling with strangers, however, the trip turned out to be an absolute blast. The stays were comfortable and the trip leads Vishal, Ashish and Abhishek handled everything very well and were absolute sweethearts. They made us all feel at home and addressed all our issues. Post our planned daily site seeing, the entire troop with the trip leads would come back to enjoy the much needed bornefire talking, discussing ghost stories and playing games. All our stays were comfortable and food was delicious. I made many lovely memories and life long friends on this trip. Would always cherish them.?? Thank you team Justwravel.

JustWravel Review by Ishita Lath

Ishita Lath

I recently went to Winter Spiti Valley trip with JustWravel which ended up being more as a trip with best friends. JustWravel had everything sorted for us be it transportation, safety, constant checkups, personalised care , accommodation, food and everything was super comfortable and amazing. Then it comes to the best part of this trip our trip captains - Abhishek and Ramneek He treated us like their own brother from day one and made sure all of us are having the time of our lives. They had constant checkups to ensure all of us are doing great physically. They had good knowledge about the place and shared the same with us as well. I would surely plan my next trip with JustWravel. I would like to mention an instance: I forgot my bag in the Volvo bus and there was nothing important in that bag but our captains still went out of their way to ensure that I got my bag safely.

Thank you JustWravel for giving me one of my best �first group-trip� experience - All-Girls Spiti Valley trip! I was a bit nervous before the trip began, but within no time, I realised that this was the best decision I took for myself. Saurav was a really friendly and easy-going trip leader and Mani Bhai was the sweetest local guide ever, who drove us around and also developed such a lovely bond with us. Both of them took great care of the group. Felt like family! ?? Lovely stay and food arrangements - never faced an issue even once. Most memorable trip! Thankyou!

JustWravel Review by Pallavi Krishnaraj

Pallavi Krishnaraj

I booked my first community trip with Justwravel and it was my best trip so far. I went on the Spiti Valley all girls trip. The accommodations and transport were very good. Everything was on time and I have no complains on the arrangements. We covered all the places according to the itinerary. Our trip captain Saurav Rawat was amazing. He handled all the situations perfectly and made sure we were safe and comfortable at all times. He connected with us instantly and made us feel at home. I had the best time for the entire 10 days. Special thanks to Mani Bhayya for taking us safely to all the places and making sure we have an amazing time in the tempo while travelling. I definitely recommend everyone to try Justwravel and I am looking forward to many more trips with them!!
