    If you only have a few hours, the quickest detour is Shringa Rishi Temple just a 10 minute drive from Banjar and you can spend about 45 minutes there. For a bit more nature, head east on NH5 to the Great Himalayan National Park entrance, park near the viewpoint, and walk a short loop in about 90 minutes. The same NH5 route lets you return to Banjar without detours, keeping the round trip under three hours. If you’re staying nearby, Madpackers Jibhi is a convenient base.
