While everyone is roaming in Thailand to create the most heat in summer this year, very little we knew that we have a mini Thailand in our own Himachal Pradesh. Locally known as Kuli Katandi or Veer’s R, it is a tourist place in Jibi, located in the Tirthan Valley of Himachal Pradesh.

The place is located within the dense forest of pine and cedar trees and has a stream flowing through two huge rocks, which looks like a picture from Thailand – and therefore name. You need to visit this treasure of nature at least once in your life.

It is different from the other hill station that it is blessed with a real mixture of moss -and -half, dense forest cover, and ancient natural pool – a setting that immediately reminds you of hidden Thai lagoon or jungle trails hidden near Kabi or Chiang Mai.

This gem is not accessible by any public transport or car or even bikes. Whoever wishes to find this gem, needs to go on the trek. Away from all commercial wolves, this place is a promising site to see – especially for those who love mountains and areas.
