A slow travel destination
Jibhi is a slow travel destination as you can sit at any place and watch the nature’s beauty around you for several hours. Air is clean and there is no traffic buzz, peace and silence all around. If you are interested in trekking, you can go to the neighbouring village Gada Gushaini, which is even more offbeat than Jibhi. The picturesque view is amazing as the neighbouring village is uphill. You will find a waterfall as well which is at 2 hours walk from Jibhi. Jalori pass is at 13 km from Jibhi hence you can enjoy a day tour to Serolsar Lake from the Pass.
