Kasol Kheerganga Trek Package 4 Days

Trip Overview

Kasol — a tiny hamlet on the right bank of the Parvati River at 1,640 metres in Kullu district — has become one of India's most beloved backpacker destinations. Surrounded by towering Himalayan peaks, dense conifer forests and the roaring jade-green Parvati River, Kasol has an atmosphere of total disconnection from the rush of modern life. Israeli restaurants serving shakshuka and falafel, Tibetan momos stalls, bonfires by the river and the sound of acoustic guitar from a dozen guesthouses give Kasol a uniquely eclectic, international character. The Kheerganga trek, starting from Barshaini (15 km from Kasol), is one of Himachal Pradesh's most popular and rewarding treks — a moderate 12 km trail through dense forest, past waterfalls and small villages to the sacred meadow of Kheerganga at 2,950 metres. The trail follows the Parvati River for much of its length, crossing wooden bridges and skirting boulders in a landscape of extraordinary beauty. The reward at the top is a natural open-air sulphur hot spring pool, considered sacred to Lord Shiva, where after a 5 to 6 hour uphill trek you can lower yourself into warm, healing water with snow peaks on the horizon — one of the finest trekking rewards in Himachal Pradesh. Manikaran Gurudwara, 4 km from Kasol, is one of the holiest Sikh and Hindu pilgrimage sites in the Kullu district — a striking golden gurdwara built over natural geothermal hot springs so powerful that the langar kitchen (free community kitchen) cooks food in the boiling spring water. Tosh village, at the head of the Tosh Nala valley 5 km from Barshaini, is a remote traditional village with unobstructed views of the Parvati range peaks — a favourite camping and hiking destination for travellers seeking even further solitude than Kasol offers.
