Sightseeing in Tirthan Valley was the plan but I wasn&#8217;t really sure about which way to go first. I asked our hosts and they suggested that we should first trek to Chehni Kothi, then take a ride through Tirthan Valley till Gushaini; and return to Ghiyagi by evening. We took their advice and that became our plan for the day.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Also Read: <a href=\"http:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/tirthan-valley\/\">How to Plan a Trip to Tirthan Valley &#8211; A Complete Travel Guide<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Before coming to Tirthan Valley, I have had a word with Vikas and out of the several places that he had suggested for sightseeing, one was Himalayan Trout House. It is a small homestay\/restaurant kind of a deal; located in Nagini. Vikas spoke very high of this place and said that we should at least have one meal here. As per him, the owners of this place cook some amazing fish dishes and we must try one. Tirthan River is full of Trout fishes and that is why this place too was named Himalayan Trout House.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">So as our final plan for Day 3, we were first going to trek to Chehni Kothi, then ride to Nagini and have some Trout fish for lunch at Himalayan Trout House. I was sure that this would take up all our day and we won&#8217;t be able to return to Ghiyagi before evening.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">We had our breakfast at Shringi Vatika and started riding towards the spot from where the trek to Chehni Kothi starts. It wasn&#8217;t too far away from Gushaini and we reached there in a short while.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Shringa_Rishi_Temple\"><\/span><strong><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Shringa Rishi Temple<\/span><\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The picture below is from where the trek to Shringa Rishi temple starts. You first trek up to the temple and then continue towards Chehni Kothi on the same trail. The starting point is right next to the road and hard to miss. Since we arrived here on our bikes, we had no choice but to leave them at the foot of the stairs and climb up.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/12\/vargis-khan.jpg\" data-rel=\"penci-gallery-image-content\" ><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-18036 size-full\" title=\"vargis khan\" src=\"http:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/12\/vargis-khan.jpg\" alt=\"vargis khan\" width=\"800\" height=\"530\" srcset=\"https:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/12\/vargis-khan.jpg 800w, https:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/12\/vargis-khan-300x199.jpg 300w, https:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/12\/vargis-khan-768x509.jpg 768w, https:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/12\/vargis-khan-780x516.jpg 780w, https:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/12\/vargis-khan-585x388.jpg 585w, https:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/12\/vargis-khan-263x175.jpg 263w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The entire trek is marked by well laid out stairs but does get a bit steep at several places.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/12\/sunny-sharma.jpg\" data-rel=\"penci-gallery-image-content\" ><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-18035 size-full\" title=\"shringa rishi trek\" src=\"https:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/12\/sunny-sharma.jpg\" alt=\"shringa rishi trek\" width=\"800\" height=\"530\" srcset=\"https:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/12\/sunny-sharma.jpg 800w, https:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/12\/sunny-sharma-300x199.jpg 300w, https:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/12\/sunny-sharma-768x509.jpg 768w, https:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/12\/sunny-sharma-780x516.jpg 780w, https:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/12\/sunny-sharma-585x388.jpg 585w, https:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/12\/sunny-sharma-263x175.jpg 263w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">In a short while, we arrived at Shringa Rishi Temple.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/12\/shringa-rishi-temple.jpg\" data-rel=\"penci-gallery-image-content\" ><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-18034 size-full\" title=\"shringa rishi temple\" src=\"https:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/12\/shringa-rishi-temple.jpg\" alt=\"shringa rishi temple\" width=\"800\" height=\"530\" srcset=\"https:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/12\/shringa-rishi-temple.jpg 800w, https:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/12\/shringa-rishi-temple-300x199.jpg 300w, https:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/12\/shringa-rishi-temple-768x509.jpg 768w, https:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/12\/shringa-rishi-temple-780x516.jpg 780w, https:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/12\/shringa-rishi-temple-585x388.jpg 585w, https:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/12\/shringa-rishi-temple-263x175.jpg 263w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">After visiting the temple, we then continued climbing towards Chehni Kothi.

This is one of the tallest structures built in the traditional local architecture in the entire <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/himachaltourism.gov.in\/\">Himachal<\/a><\/strong>. Originally, Chehni Kothi was a 7-storey tower but got damaged in the earthquake of 1905. Its top two towers fell off and the remaining 5 towers are now looked after the villagers. It is now one of the prime attractions of Tirthan Valley.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Also Read: <a href=\"http:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/places-to-visit-in-tirthan-valley\/\">Places to See in Tirthan Valley and Things to Do<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">After a steep and tiring climb, we finally arrived at the village and had our first view of the tower that I heard so much about.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/12\/chehni-kothi.jpg\" data-rel=\"penci-gallery-image-content\" ><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-18038\" src=\"http:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/12\/chehni-kothi.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"530\" srcset=\"https:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/12\/chehni-kothi.jpg 800w, https:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/12\/chehni-kothi-300x199.jpg 300w, https:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/12\/chehni-kothi-768x509.jpg 768w, https:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/12\/chehni-kothi-780x516.jpg 780w, https:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/12\/chehni-kothi-585x388.jpg 585w, https:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/12\/chehni-kothi-263x175.jpg 263w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_Mysterious_Village\"><\/span><strong><span style=\"color: #000000;\">The Mysterious Village<\/span><\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">I am not really sure why but I was a bit disappointed and started to wonder if we actually wasted our time climbing up here; time that we actually could have spent visiting some other place. To me, there was nothing spectacular about either the village or the tower. Nonetheless, we were at Chehni Kothi anyways so decided to walk around in the village.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Chehni Kothi turned out to be quite a mysterious place. It is probably one of the most intriguing places I have ever been to. It felt like one of those villages that you see in movies where the tourists go, get trapped, and then brutally murdered later.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">This whole village has an air of weirdness around it, with the locals giving you strange looks; and a strange temple in a tower that you are not allowed to enter. When asked why we were told that it might upset the gods. So apparently, Gods in that temple do not want anyone visiting and worshiping them.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/12\/chehni-kothi-1.jpg\" data-rel=\"penci-gallery-image-content\" ><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-18040\" src=\"http:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/12\/chehni-kothi-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"530\" srcset=\"https:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/12\/chehni-kothi-1.jpg 800w, https:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/12\/chehni-kothi-1-300x199.jpg 300w, https:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/12\/chehni-kothi-1-768x509.jpg 768w, https:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/12\/chehni-kothi-1-780x516.jpg 780w, https:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/12\/chehni-kothi-1-585x388.jpg 585w, https:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/12\/chehni-kothi-1-263x175.jpg 263w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Sunny really wanted to visit the temple but as per the rule, you cannot enter the tower unless you were wearing a &#8220;Dhoti&#8221;.

It is a great place and you can even stay here for the night. The owner of this place is actually a French guy who married an Indian lady and settled here in Nagini.<\/p>\n<h5 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong><span style=\"color: #000000;\">The Jackets Episode<\/span><\/strong><\/h5>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">With our tummies full, we continued riding to Gushaini and spent time enjoying the beautiful vistas all around. While we were in Gushaini, there was this one spot by the river that was really scenic and we decided to sit there for a while. We parked our motorcycles, took off our jackets, and sat down by the river. Sunny took off his jacket and hung it on my Royal Enfield&#8217;s handle. See in the picture below.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/12\/vargis-khan-3.jpg\" data-rel=\"penci-gallery-image-content\" ><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-18050 size-full\" title=\"vargis khan\" src=\"http:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/12\/vargis-khan-3.jpg\" alt=\"vargis khan\" width=\"800\" height=\"530\" srcset=\"https:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/12\/vargis-khan-3.jpg 800w, https:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/12\/vargis-khan-3-300x199.jpg 300w, https:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/12\/vargis-khan-3-768x509.jpg 768w, https:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/12\/vargis-khan-3-780x516.jpg 780w, https:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/12\/vargis-khan-3-585x388.jpg 585w, https:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/12\/vargis-khan-3-263x175.jpg 263w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">No, do not look at me. That was a weird look with a beard that I was trying at that time (I don&#8217;t even know why). Anyways, see the jacket hanging on the handle of the Enfield in the background? That is what I am talking about. What none of us realized was that the jacket was coming in contact with the silencer of the motorcycle. When we finally got up to continue riding and removed the jacket from the handle, below is what was waiting for us. Royal Enfield&#8217;s silencers are notorious for heating up and it was enough to burn this jacket away.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Also Read: <a href=\"http:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/shringi-vatika-tirthan-valley\/\">Shringi Vatika, Tirthan Valley \u2013 A Great Homestay<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/12\/tirthan-valley-1.jpg\" data-rel=\"penci-gallery-image-content\" ><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-18051\" src=\"http:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/12\/tirthan-valley-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"530\" srcset=\"https:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/12\/tirthan-valley-1.jpg 800w, https:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/12\/tirthan-valley-1-300x199.jpg 300w, https:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/12\/tirthan-valley-1-768x509.jpg 768w, https:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/12\/tirthan-valley-1-780x516.jpg 780w, https:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/12\/tirthan-valley-1-585x388.jpg 585w, https:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/12\/tirthan-valley-1-263x175.jpg 263w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/12\/tirthan-valley-2.jpg\" data-rel=\"penci-gallery-image-content\" ><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-18052\" src=\"http:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/12\/tirthan-valley-2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"530\" srcset=\"https:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/12\/tirthan-valley-2.jpg 800w, https:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/12\/tirthan-valley-2-300x199.jpg 300w, https:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/12\/tirthan-valley-2-768x509.jpg 768w, https:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/12\/tirthan-valley-2-780x516.jpg 780w, https:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/12\/tirthan-valley-2-585x388.jpg 585w, https:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/12\/tirthan-valley-2-263x175.jpg 263w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">But it did not end here.
