2. Jalori Pass
Perched at an altitude of 3134 m, Jalori Pass is one of the popular mountain passes in Himachal which forms a link between the inner and outer Seraj Valley. One can drive up until the end point after which one has to trek up a steep path which would take around an hour or two.
At the summit the view is simply mind-blowing and is worth the trek. One can also get a breathtaking view of the Himalayas, which would give you the feel of being on top of the world.
It is believed to have been constructed by the Mandi rulers, to protect them from being invaded by other rulers. At present there is not much left of this structure, except the outer portion of the walls of the fort. To reach the fort, one has to trek a distance of approximately 3 km from Jalori Pass.
The trek gets a bit challenging during the last stretch, but truly gives you an experience of a lifetime.
