Overview
Delhi to Jibhi is about 500 km, usually 11 to 13 hours by taxi via Chandigarh and Mandi, turning off the Manali highway at the Aut tunnel for the last 31 km up the Banjar valley. Jibhi has become a favourite quiet alternative to Manali, with wooden homestays, forest walks and the drive up to Jalori Pass. Because the final stretch is a narrow mountain road, it's best done in daylight, so most travellers leave Delhi before dawn or break the trip in Chandigarh. Share your homestay name and we'll get you to the last drivable point.
Usual route: NH44 to Chandigarh, Kiratpur–Mandi highway to Aut, then the Banjar road
