Giriganga (Jubbal)


Snow in Giriganga

Giri Ganga is  located in Pabbar valley .This place has green pastures and medows amidst deodar cover. It has temples which dates back to BC period. Surrounded by the thick deodar jungles, 100% pure peace awaits you here. You suddenly feel like meditating to rise above mortality. In winters, this entire space is filled with snow. An overwhelmingly peaceful place, very highly recommended by us if you are seeking a break. The river Giri originates from here and is an important tributary of the Yamuna river. It drains a part of South-Eastern Himachal Pradesh. The Giri or Giriganga as it is famous in the Jubbal, Rohru hills it rises from Kuppar peak just above Jubbal town before flowing through the heart of Shimla hills.

The distance of Giriganga Temple from Kharapathar is 5.2 km. It takes around 1hr 50 min. by foot to reach the temple but it take more time in winter. One can reach the temple by car or bike. It takes around 30 min.  But in winter if you want to drive in this road I suggest only heavy vehicles or 4x4 vehicles.

Kuppar Jubbal

From Giriganga road you can also see the Kuppar peak. The height of kuppar peak is around 3200 meters. The way of kuppar starts from Giriganga Temple.

Kharapathar

In winters Giriganga is a beautiful place to visit. All the trees are covered with snow. The path is covered with snow. It was all untouched. In Giriganga forest you can find many species of birds.


 It is great place to visit in winter. You can stay at Kharapathar. At kharapathar one can stay at "Giriganga Resort" by Himachal Tourism or can stay at Jubbal which is 15 km away from Kharapthar.
