About the Destination

Overview

Jogini Waterfall is a cascading stream that tumbles down a rock face from a height of about 160 feet. Located near the village of Vashisht, the journey to the waterfall is as much a part of the experience as the destination itself. The trek, which is roughly 3 kilometers long, takes you through a pleasant trail lined with pine trees and apple orchards. You will cross small streams and get glimpses of the Beas River and the snow-dusted peaks of Rohtang in the distance.

Best Time to Visit

The ideal time to visit is from March to June and from September to November. During these months, the weather is pleasant for trekking, and the water flow is good. Avoid the monsoon months of July and August as the trail becomes very slippery and dangerous. The winter months from December to February can see heavy snowfall, which might make the path inaccessible.
Peak Crowd: May-June and October-November, especially on weekends, due to peak tourist season in Manali.
Moderate Crowd: March-April and September, on weekdays.
Low Crowd: July-August, due to monsoon rains making the trek challenging.
