A Hidden Paradise for a Serene Escape
If you’re looking for a peaceful riverside retreat, far from the chaos of overcrowded tourist spots, then I’ve got the perfect stay for you! Nestled in the heart of Tirthan Valley, The Raj Retreat is a hidden gem where you can unwind in nature’s lap, surrounded by breathtaking mountains and the soothing sounds of the river.
Why Tirthan Valley Over Manali?
On my recent trip to Jibhi, I was drawn to its untouched beauty—a quieter, more budget-friendly alternative to Manali. The valley is known for its treehouses, cozy cabins, and stunning riverside stays, but let’s be honest—some of them can burn a hole in your pocket!
Being a budget-conscious traveler, I scrolled through endless options before stumbling upon The Raj Retreat—a stay that ticked all my boxes. Affordable, scenic, and packed with adventure—I knew I had found something special.
The Unexpected Arrival – A Mini Adventure in Itself
After a long drive, we finally reached the location marked by Google Maps. But when the navigation voice confidently announced, “You have reached your destination,” I looked around and saw nothing but a narrow hilly road.
Confused, I called the caretaker, and that’s when I spotted A-line wooden cabins on the other side of the mountain. The only way to reach them? A short trek down stone stairs and a hanging bridge over the Tirthan River!
The bridge swayed as I stepped onto it, and for a second, my heart skipped a beat. But once I embraced the thrill, I realized it was just the beginning of an unforgettable stay!
A Stay That Feels Like a Dream
As soon as I entered my villa, I was spellbound. The wooden interiors, cozy ambiance, and a balcony with a mesmerizing view of the river and mountains gave me the peace I had been longing for.
What makes The Raj Retreat special?
✔️ Private Riverside Access – Enjoy a bonfire and BBQ party by the river, away from the crowds.
✔️ Delicious Home-Cooked Food – Fresh, local ingredients served with love.
✔️ Warm & Friendly Hosts – The staff goes out of their way to make your stay memorable.
✔️ Upcoming Infinity Pool – Soon, this retreat will have an infinity pool with valley views!
Budget-Friendly Luxury – The Pricing & Best Booking Hack
💰 Price: I booked a two-floor villa for ₹24,000 via Airbnb, which comfortably accommodates four people. You can also get extra mattresses at a minimal cost to fit more people.
💡 Money-Saving Tip: Instead of booking online, call the caretaker directly for an exclusive discount! This will save you a significant amount compared to other premium stays in Tirthan Valley.
