Kasol & Parvati Valley
Riverside cafés & Himalayan treks
Kasol sits on the banks of the Parvati river, a small village that grew into one of India's favourite backpacker and trekking hubs. Deodar forest, a cold clear river and a string of laid-back cafés make it a relaxed base — and the start of some of Himachal's best short treks.
The wider Parvati Valley is for travellers who like their mountains rugged and their pace slow: hot springs, hidden hamlets and starry nights at the foot of big peaks.
Kheerganga & the villages
The signature trek climbs through forest and waterfalls to Kheerganga, where a natural hot spring waits at the top — an overnight or long day from Barshaini. The cliff-side village of Tosh and the famously isolated Malana add more flavour. We drive you to the trailheads at Barshaini/Pulga and collect you after.
Manikaran & riverside days
A short drive up-valley, Manikaran is revered for its gurudwara and Shiva temple set over boiling hot springs — pilgrims cook langar in the steaming water. Back in Kasol, the days are for café-hopping, river walks and easy mountain air.
