Overview & Highlights

Delhi – McLeodganj – Bir – Tirthan Valley – Jalori Pass – Serolsar Lake – Delhi

Trip Highlights:

Explore Tibetan monasteries and food trails in McLeodganj

Enjoy paragliding over Bir, India's paragliding capital

Discover the quiet, less-explored valley of Tirthan

Get a 360-degree Himalayan view from Jalori Pass

Trek through pine forests to the hidden Serolsar Lake

This 5-day Himachal Christmas New Year trip covers four towns that rarely make it onto the same itinerary — McLeodganj, Bir, Tirthan Valley, and Jalori Pass — each bringing a distinctly different side of the mountains.

In McLeodganj, you'll walk through centuries-old Tibetan monasteries, spin prayer wheels alongside monks, and sit down to a plate of momos or thukpa at a café that might just as easily serve you Israeli shakshuka or wood-fired pizza. In Bir, India's paragliding capital, you'll strap in for a tandem flight and spend a good 20-30 minutes gliding over the Kangra Valley, with the entire Dhauladhar range spread out beneath you.

Tirthan Valley is where the trip slows right down — mornings spent by the Tirthan River, trout on the menu, and villages that have stayed largely untouched by tourism. From here, you'll climb up to Jalori Pass for sweeping, 360-degree Himalayan views, then trek through dense pine and oak forests to reach Serolsar Lake, a still, mirror-like lake that few travellers ever make the effort to visit.

For anyone looking to book a Himachal Christmas New Year tour package that mixes real adventure with proper downtime, this itinerary delivers both — paragliding highs on some days, quiet valley mornings on others.
