jibhi in july
jibhi in july is the full monsoon: green, misty and wet, with days around 24°C and nights near 17°C. rain falls most days, the jibhi waterfall and the tirthan run loud, and the june crowds have gone home.
the trade is the road. landslides on the kullu highway, the aut to banjar stretch and the climb to jalori pass can hold you up for hours, sometimes days. come for a slow week of rain on a tin roof, not a packed itinerary.
