Tucked around 550 metres upstream from the confluence of the Kalwari Nullah and Tirthan river, the charming Gone Fishing Cottages in the picturesque Tirthan Valley can be a true rehab for the one who is in the quest for some solace amid mother nature. The cottages sit in the eco-zone of the UNESCO Heritage Site, the Great Himalayan National Park. They are flanked by pretty tulips and farming fields on one side, while the other side busks with a line up of pines and deodars.
The fishing season starts here on March 1 and continues up to October 31. It is one of the most ideal locations for anglers who love to go fishing in the mountains with rod and line.
