Jalori Pass Day Trek

Jibhi 4.6 Full day Moderate Apr–Jun, Sep–Nov

Overview

From Jibhi, a mountain road climbs to Jalori Pass — then a gentle 5 km forest trail leads to Serolsar Lake, a sacred alpine pool surrounded by oak. The trek is moderate: the road is the hard part (motion sickness common), the walk is peaceful. Packed lunch at the lake, descent by afternoon, and you can stop at Jibhi waterfall on the drive back.

Highlights

  • Jalori Pass at 3,120 m
  • Serolsar Lake through oak forest
  • Packed lunch at lake meadow
  • Jibhi waterfall on return route
