The Great Escape - Jibhi Paradise operates as a quaint café combined with a resort hotel nestled beside a gently flowing river in the village of Rashala, Jibhi. This spot is best experienced by those looking to unwind in nature’s embrace rather than seeking luxury or bustling activity.

Guests here often come to escape the noise and distractions of daily life. The riverside location sets a calm scene: mornings are marked by the soft murmur of water, ideal for sipping coffee or chai by the window with a book, especially as natural light floods the space. While WiFi can be spotty, this actually encourages visitors to unplug and focus on simple pleasures like reading, writing, or just watching the river.

The accommodation leans more towards a rustic, cozy aesthetic with cottages that feel intimate and clean rather than flashy. A particularly unique touch is one cottage designed with a Harry Potter theme, providing a storybook atmosphere that works well for couples, families, or groups of friends looking to share a quiet retreat.

Food here supports the laid-back feel—fresh and satisfying without pretense, complementing the overall vibe rather than dominating it. Many visitors appreciate the peaceful afternoons and the sense of slowing down, making it a good fit for creatives, nature lovers, and anyone seeking a genuine riverside retreat away from crowded tourist spots.

  • Best for: Low-key getaways, reading and writing sessions, intimate stays with a rustic charm
  • Who enjoys it: Couples, small families, friend groups, and solo travelers wanting quiet time
  • Best time to visit: Early mornings for natural light and serene coffee moments, or tranquil afternoons by the river
  • Atmosphere: Relaxed, peaceful, grounded in nature with an earthy, unpolished character

The riverside location makes this place truly magical! Waking up to the sound of flowing water and enjoying my morning coffee with such a serene view was an experience I'll never forget.

Came here with the intention to just read and write, and I couldn't have found a better spot. The natural light in the mornings is incredible. I sat by the window with chai and a book for hours. WiFi wasn’t consistent, but that kind of helped me unplug more. Just don’t expect luxury – it’s more rustic and real.

The cottage was extremely comfortable, cozy and clean. The river was directly at the foot of the cottage, making the experience surreal and unlike any other before. The Harry Potter theme with added books, picturesque attic and ample stay, it is the ideal place for couples, friend groups or even families with little children.

Me and my girlfriend and it was an absolutely delightful experience. From the moment we arrived, the hospitality and service were top-notch. The attention to detail in the amenities and the cleanliness of the place were impressive. It felt like a home away from home, with all the comforts and conveniences we could wish for. The staff were incredibly friendly and went out of their way to ensure our stay was memorable. The ambiance was cozy and welcoming, making it the perfect getaway. I highly recommend this home stay to anyone looking for exceptional service and a comfortable, enjoyable stay. Truly a five-star experience!
