Top things to do on a Kasol trip:
1. Go trekking to Kheerganga:
Kheerganga is probably the most famous place to visit in Kasol. Mounted with surplus beauty, it’s also a place of holy significance. And the best part, after a taxing hike of about 14 km, the Kheerganga valley rewards visitors with a revitalising dip in natural hot water springs that instantly washes away.
2.Go to Tosh village:
Tosh is the last motorable village in Parvati Valley located 20 km away from Kasol. Just like Kheerganga, Barshaini also serves as the starting point for this trek. You can take a local bus or cab till here and then Tosh is just 3 km uphill from Barshaini.
From here there is also a trek to Kutla village.
3. Watch Sunsets at Chalal Village:
The tiny village of Chalal which is covered with apple trees is the laid-back version of Kasol.A few specific spots in Chalal offer some of the most gorgeous sunsets you’ll ever see in the hills! Chalal is a mere 1.5 km from Kasol and can be easily covered on foot. A walk from Kasol to Chalal along the Parvati river and amidst pine woods is truly an enchanting experience!
Visit the Malana Village:
A visit to Malana is a must if you want to experience multiculturalism at its best in Himachal. Titled as the “World’s Oldest Democracy”, Malana is the home to the descendants of “Alexander The Great’s” Army (as per the locals).
The Pin-Parvati Trek:
The Pin-Parvati trek is one of the most beautiful and adventurous treks in Himachal. In comparison to various easy treks around Kasol, Pin-Parvati is an advanced level trek that takes around 10-12 days to complete. Along with trekking over uneven terrain and climbing boulders, the Pin Parvati trek demands trekkers to indulge in a bit of mountaineering, making it a favourite site for mountaineering enthusiasts.
Visit Manikaran Gurudwara:
The pearl-white holy sanctum of Shri Manikaran Sahib is located just 3 km from Kasol. You can take a local bus or cab to get here. Better yet, if you’re riding to Kasol from Delhi or Chandigarh, you can stop by this beautiful Gurudwara on the way itself. After all, what better way to start a trip than with the blessings of the Almighty!
4. Taste The Thrill Of Riverside Camping:
Set up camp near the gushing Parvati river and catch up with old friends over a bonfire, music, and roasted marshmallows! Add a zest of fun to your holiday in Kasol with a night (or two) or riverside camping that will leave you and your gang with memories for life. It is anyway the best way to wear down your fatigue after all those tiring sessions of trekking or to intoxicate your mind, body, and soul of those long hours at the office.
Final Thoughts:
Kasol offers a mix of natural beauty, adventure, and rich cultural experiences that cater to all types of travelers. Thank You.
