In the midst of the Himalayas and the dense forest that surrounds them sits the little settlement of Shojha. Since hardly many people ever visit, the community has managed to preserve its picturesque setting. The 5-kilometre jaunt through Jalori Pass is not without its challenges. While the view of snowy peaks from the top of Jalori Pass is unmatched, the walk over it is not without risk. At night, when the moon is shining brightly, the snow above the Himalayas takes on the appearance of a thin covering of silver.
Suggested Duration - 2 to 3 Days
The hike to Jalori Pass is beautiful because of the contrast between the lush forest on one side and the snow-capped mountains on the other.
The joy of travel comes in exploring new things. Planting your feet somewhere you’ve never been before brings with it the rush of discovery and the joy of pushing back on the boundaries of your world.
But when one does arrive at that fresh frontier, there are ways better than others to begin your journey of discovery. Follow these steps and see the world with a new light.
• Discover a new city through a food tour. Food tour’s are the easiest way to take a tour, learn about the local delicacies, and the best of all, get great tips that aren’t just “local” tips for tourists, but sometimes, lessons for a lifetime too
• Use Public Transportation. When you are in a new city, you can possibly see places and people that you wouldn’t normally see when simply walking to the places that checks your list. Some buses or rails take you to parts of the city you wouldn’t get to see otherwise. Whilst using public transportation, just ensure that you are following the local norms and do remember to watch the locals!
• Find a local festival. Go beyond what other tourists might do while visiting a place. Look for the unique things you would want to do. Use social media or the local tourism website to find out what’s going on locally. You may have to move out of the center of the city to do some of the less popular but more unique things, so just keep that in mind!
